  Hi Zo - actually, it claims to serve 4 (just under where it says EASY), but it certainly doesn't. 2 is more like it. Mine was runny and athough it tasted OK it wasn't an attractive-looking dish - nothing like the picture. Two stars only - one for tasting OK and one for being quick & easy to make, but I wouldn't want to do it again.

  very nice - put it in the slow cooker for an afternoon - melted! I also seasoned the beef in flour before browning off for flavor and to thicken the sauce.

  "Serves 4 - Easily doubled" So....is everyone else making the "serves 2" part up - coz I'd be serving this for 3?

  Lovely meal, however I found the garlic over powering. Would it be ok to leave the garlic out completely? Can someone suggest a substitute? Thanks.

  Rather than tinned tomato's i use 8 large fresh tom's and some puree. It came out superbly.

  I really enjoyed making this! It tasted great, especially with halved green olives added. I did have to reduce the sauce a lot as I added extra wine!

  Quick and simple, being a lover of spice we added a little kick to steak in the form of some Cayenne pepper. Probably need to add a little cornfloyr to the mix as previous have said, we didn't and the sauce is a little on the runny side.

  I added a few mushrooms and half a glass of red wine and served with garlic bread. A lovely lighter version of rich heavy winter stew - perfect for summer.

  This was very tasty but I cooked for longer to let the sauce reduce and just added a splash of water. After reading all other comments I would add paprika and a stock cube next time and chuck in any other veg I have. I served with new potatoes and asparagus. Yum!

  This was great. I followed advice and added some pesto (I had some to use up) at the end which added to the flavour. Can easily add any vegetables to this as well. I served with bread to mop up all the juices as it was a little watery but tasted fab still. I made the full amount for just us 2, it wasnt loads but a decent amount.

  I added two tins of tomatoes but sauce was still on the watery side. Next time I will put in the oven as suggested by others. I added carrots and celery. It was nice and I will make this again as all the family enjoyed it.

  I thought this was 'ok'. Admittedly I accidentally added too much corn flour in an attempt to reduce/thicken the sauce and it came out a bit sludgy. It tasted ok but not enough for me to make it again.
