Mahogany Beef Stew

You will not believe the deeply satisfying flavour of this stew. This is our favourite wintry stew dish - comfort food to the max. the cooking time is more or less accurate, but it really depends on the cut of meat used - not everyone used chuck, and then, not all chuck is the same! you really have to poke and prod and taste to get it to where you want it...but that's what cooking is all about, isn't it? ;-)
