This Stew takes about 3 or 4 hours to make with at least an hour prep time. This dish was a pain in the ass to say the least. You have to cube the beef and then dry them piece by piece. At least that is what I did. I am sure there was an easier way to do it but I couldn't figure it out. This took forever so if anyone does plan on making this stew I would be sure to make it either a day in advance or be prepared to be in the kitchen for a few hours. This recipe was seriously so confusing but everything turned out right in the end. I would recommend reading the entire recipe before attempting it. I didn't think this would be a complete food blog with out doing a Julia Childs recipe so this was one of the first one I wanted to try because in the movie Julie&Julia everyone was orgasming over this stew and so was I and my best friend. She asked me to make it and finally a month after watching the movie we got all the ingredients to do so.
The taste is fabulous! It's so flavorful and light. The onions and mushrooms and carrots all go together very well with the beef and it has a subtle wine taste but that adds to the flavor even more. Sad to say the children didn't really enjoy it but I feel this stew has more of an "adult" taste. I enjoyed it very much and so did Patty. I would definitely make this stew again in a heartbeat but will plan better next time.

The finished product
This stew was delicious and goes great with jalapeno bread. That is all for now I am super tired and sleep sounds amazing right now.
Until next time!
