Did you ever get that bottle of wine for the beef stew, Vixmom?
I did, I trimmed the beef then let it sit in the wine and some minced garlic for a couple of hours, then I mixed some salt and pepper and paprika in some flour and tossed all the beef
Browned them in little oil in my Dutch oven, then sauteed some onion in the drippings, then peeled and cut some russet potatoes into chunks, put them in with the onions and some sliced carrots, put the meat back in added some more wine and beef broth and put the whole thing into the oven for a couple of hours .
It came out well. I added some canned peas at the end because...lazy
