Absolutely delicious! Next time I'll pay more attention to how much the water is simmering as there was very little sauce left. Mind you, that meant that the veggies caramelized more so it's a toss-up on whether that's a good thing or a bad thing! Next time, I will cut the potatoes to the same size as the rest of the veggie chunks. I just felt I preferred the other veggies, they seemed more flavorful and moist. I used Marsala wine instead of red and it gave a rich aroma and texture to the sauce that was left...:) I also added an Italian spice blend to the meat.
I cooked the beef in broth for a while before adding the vegetables to make the beef extra tender. Other than that, a tasty recipe.
