The recipe, as shown, calls for 32 oz. of beef stock. This makes it much too soupy. I used about 10 oz. and added a small can of tomato paste toward the end to make it more like a sauce. Poured it over small shells pasta. Tastes terrific! Highly recommended.

Great flavor, but the artichokes (which I doubled) got so mushy; they had absolutely no texture or flavor. The olives managed to hold their texture, but they also lost their flavor. Next time, I'll add more herbs, and I won't add the artichokes and olives till the last hour.

Loved. Made as is but did add artichokes and olives an hour before being done. It is very soupy the way it's listed to be made. I ate it as soup. Use much less liquid if you want to use it over pasta. Very good.

This is absolutely delicious, but I gave it only 3 stars because the amount of liquid called for is about three times too much. There's no way you achieved what's in the photo with that much liquid. Next time I'll use a 10 oz can of beef broth and an 8 oz can of tomato paste. You can always add a bit of water if it begins to look dry near the end of the cooking time. I also agree with others that you need to add the artichokes and olives an hour before it's done. If you use less liquid, adjust the spices accordingly to about half what is called for. I'll make this again, my way.

Yum! This is a delicious dinner. I used fresh artichokes (including the stems) and fresh herbs. I sautéed the onion with the beef while it was browning. I cooked everything on high for three hours. The meat was so tender and the sauce this recipe creates is fantastic. Leftovers made an excellent sauce for pasta. Thank you for the recipe.

No changes, made it exactly as described. You know it's good when one of the guests takes that first bite and just quietly moans...it was delicious!

I was waffling between this and another recipe to use a huge beef chuck roast I found on sale. Made very few adjustments to this that were ideas I picked up from the other recipe. Coated the roast in kosher salt, pepper, then flour before browning in olive oil. Then cut up into pretty large chunks and put in crock pot. Topped with onion and garlic as directed, but added extra artichokes and kalamata olives. Sauce, tomatoes, and spices all same, except skipped the beef broth and added just a can (about 1-1/2 cups) of Cabernet. Meant to cook on low for five hours but accidentally left it on high! Still turned out fine. Just fished out the meat to the surface and shredded with two forks. This is NOT too much liquid once meat is shredded and all mixed up with extra helpings of artichokes and olives. Served over pipe rigate pasta (short curved tubes are good for holding the sauce). Amazing flavor with wine and olives. Making this again and again!

This turned out great but after reading some of the reviews, I did make a few modifications. I decided to use half the beef broth as almost all of the reviews I read, said there was way too much broth. A few reviews also said that the olives and artichokes had little or no flavor. So I decided to test it myself. I split the olives and artichokes in half and put 1 half in the beginning on top of the meat as the recipes directs to and the remanding half about 15 minutes before it was done. The olives and artichokes that I put it n onto the meat or n the beginning did have no taste but the ones I put in at the end did. This dish is amazing and thank you for it!!

Meh... rather bland.
01/19/2018
Too much liquid!
11/05/2017
Absolutely delicious! I cut my beef small and it was tender in 2 hours. Served it with spaghetti. Loved the flavors Will definitely make often.
10/09/2017
Good taste, but way too soupy. I cooked pasta to put the stew over, but it was not thick as I had hoped. Should be named 'soup', not 'stew'. Otherwise, tasted very good.
12/29/2017
Wayyyyy too much liquid. Waters down the spices. Would consider half the beef stock, and maybe some lentils to thicken it.
03/21/2018
Used olive oil, quartered artichokes, and 3/4 of the beef stock. I did thicken sauce at end with cornstarch and served with mashed potatoes. My husband and I loved the flavor and will make again and again. Oh also I cut a chuck roast up instead of stew beef. Thanks for the recipe JennaBee

I really loved it. Depending on what sides you serve it with, a very healthy and light meal.
01/01/2018
Would never had made this if I'd known it was 'soup'? Not as pictured for sure. Certainly could not serve over pasta. Don't make it!
03/04/2018
Being that I made this on a Sunday morning, there may or my not have been a slight hangover and a Bloody Mary consumed during preparation. Browning the meat made my kitchen smell so good I decided to pour the oil and pan scrapings over the onions before going to the next step. A must. Cheers!
01/04/2018
Made this last night slow cooked it in a skillet about 2 hrs. Used 3 tsp Italian seasoning, no sauce just added diced tomatoes instead. By simmering that long most of the liquid evaporated Didn't add artichokes until end of cooking. Also didn't add olives at all. Was very tasty. Will make again

I'm new to cooking. My husband cooked in order to facilitate my career and now, post-retirement, I'm on kitchen duty. Goal is to find 5 really good dinners and this one made the cut. Very tasty! I followed several recommendations and cut back on the broth. I used capers instead of olives (I detest olives), and added a second can of artichokes at the end. Served it with roasted red potatoes. The meal was a five star. Thanks AR.
07/02/2019
Very tasty. I also reduced the amount of beef stock to about half the recipe called for. Still a bit wet. Served with Mediterranean cauliflower. If I make it again, I'd reduce the stock a bit more and increase the artichokes and olives. Still, very good!
02/22/2018
Why would you put a picture like that to depict the dish you instructed? Your picture looked hearty, but (following your directions) I made a very expensive soup!
01/31/2018
Good. Thanks yen, Steve VB, and Buckwheat Queen for your suggestions; brown beef with onions, use 10oz of beef broth and add small can tomato paste and artichokes and olives 30+ minutes at the end. Needs pepper! Hubs would prefer penne or rice over shells.
08/23/2017
I did not change the recipe and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed eating it. Very good recipe.
01/05/2018
Yes, I prefer serving this wonderful dish over rice instead of pasta.
01/02/2018
So good!!!!! Added lentils per someones advice, and used less broth- so flavorful!!!!!
12/29/2017
This stew recipe was not worth the time and ingredients and wasn't nearly as good as my basic beef stew with potatoes and carrots.
01/01/2018
Tales mp to,e tp [it together, and since it cooks on its own, its ready for supper when you get home from work. It doesn't hurt that it also tastes great!
01/09/2018
Excellent flavor, I added crushed red pepper flakes, cinnamon and ground coriander. Instead of stew meat I had a roast and cut it up after slow cooking.
01/10/2018
delicious, will make again
01/29/2018
We gave this a 4 because of the excellent flavor. I've served this twice and had trouble with getting the consistency right. The first time I followed the recipe and ended up with soup that I served in bowls. The second time I used 1 cup less liquid. It still was soupy. I thickened it with mashed potatoe flakes, but we could taste the texture of the flakes. I served it over whole wheat wide pasta noodles. The taste was excellent with the noodles. The next time I make it, I plan to cut the liquid by half.
04/12/2019
Boring. Missing something. Made exactly as written and won't make again
07/05/2019
To feed more, doubled the recipe, except single-recipe amount of broth/stock. Still a bit soupy, so added cornstarch at end, to thicken. To account for picky/texture eaters, prepared veggies separately, using sauce as base & added a can of sliced mushrooms. Served over rice & offered shredded cheese as option. Next time, I will reduce the liquid more & possibly add fresh zucchini to the veggie mix. (& I will remember to take pics.)
07/06/2019
I made this with my husband today and it was great! I was a little concerned with some of the comments, so I substituted a can of tomato paste for the tomato sauce and only added 2 cups of the beef broth. We served it over bow ties. I think we may try it as a one pot meal and add the pasta using the full amount of broth next time.
07/08/2019
DELISH!
08/04/2019
I made this with 10 oz of beef stock. It was ok.... probably wont make it again.
04/10/2020
I followed the recipe exactly until I tasted it at the end. There was no real flavor and the sauce was watery. I added some cider vinegar, red pepper flakes, Jared spaghetti sauce, and salt and pepper. I then took the lid off the crock pot and finished cooking to thicken the sauce. It was still just ok.
07/15/2019
In my review I forgot to say that I did not add any beef broth, just 2 cans of diced tomatoes and one can of tomato sauce (I increased all ingredients by 50%), and the it was perfect over rotini pasta..
04/20/2020
This was a really great meal! My execution was slightly different due to only having access to very tough beef (Africa!). I pressure cook the beef for about 30 minutes and put all the other ingredients in a cast iron dutch oven on the stove. I only use about 1 1/2 to 2 cups of beef broth, however. After the beef is done in the pressure cooker, I scoop it into the dutch oven and let it cook at a simmer for about 2 hours more so the flavors meld. Thanks for a great recipe!
07/07/2019
Awesome! Agree with the reviews on the amount of liquid. I came up with a solution: make the rice with broth from the slow cooker. I was able to cook about 2 1/2 cups of rice in the rice cooker. I just added the amount of rice I was able to and added beef broth to "round up"... I did this when I added the artichokes and the olives 1 hour prior to being done...
10/22/2019
As per the instructions. Dead easy. Will make again.
07/07/2019
It turned out OK but I don't think I'll try it again.
08/18/2019
Thanks to reading many other reviews, I cut the amount of beef broth down to 8 oz, and even drained the canned tomatoes a little bit to cut down on the amount of liquid. It turned out great, very flavorful, and my family loved it.
07/03/2019
There was a lot of broth. So I took half a box of rigatoni and added them the last thirty minutes to the crockpot which absorbed the juice. A little parmesan cheese and I had a nice pasta dinner
02/29/2020
Used chuck roast on sale and cut into a few pieces. Delicious flavor . I did not use the beef broth after reading the reviews and it was perfect. Leftovers are even better. Added olives and artichokes an hour or so before eating. Very easy.
10/10/2019
This beef stew is so easy and so delicious. I only used 16floz of beef stock and it was still a soup, but an amazing, slurpable, delicious soup. I added the artichoke and olives after 6 hours as others suggested and it turned out fabulous. I also use beef chuck roast cut into 2x2in chunks in any recipe that calls for stew meat.
01/01/2019
Instead of artichokes and olives, this is great with eggplant and red or green peppers and 1/2 the beef broth and a small can of tomato paste. Really delicious!
07/03/2019
I made this and agree with the one reviewer that there's way to much liquid. The taste is so-so, don't think it will be a do over for me. If so I'd change the amount of liquid and add a tomato paste instead of a sauce. I'll thicken this with corn starch and serve it over rice. Not a winner for me!!
01/18/2019
Too much liquid, tasteless. A culinary disaster at best.
07/08/2019
I made this after reading a lot of the reviews. I only put in about 10 oz of beef broth and that was enough. Other than that I made it according to the recipe and it turned out great. Everyone liked it and we'll be making it again.
07/08/2019
Great recipe, very easy to make.
07/12/2019
My wife loved it! happy wife happy life they say. I used on 10 oz of beef broth and could have even used less. Also I added artichokes and olives at the end. Do not cut up the artichokes to small. Served it over home made pasta. It was delicious!
08/05/2019
This was very good! I read the reviews and cut back on the beef broth and was very glad I did.
11/21/2018
I made this once for my husband and me (We both work but love nice food so this worked out well) and another time for my parents. Both times it was excellent. The second time, it was a double recipe and I only used the broth for one normal recipe, and I liked that better, as it helped make it more like a stew and less like soup.
07/04/2019
my son and I loved it, the stew meat was amazing in this broth and so tender. I wasn't a big fan of the olives but it was a delicious dinner and we will consider this a special occasion dish.
02/06/2018
I didn't know that the artichokes have to be peeled out before cook :( Beside that the recipe is good.
02/04/2020
I added a can of tomato paste. Only used 1.2 lbs beef, 3/4 of the carton of beef broth. I did this in the instant pot instead of slow cooker. Sauté function on instant pot, heat oil and brown meat. Turn off sauté. Add all ingredients except artichoke and olives. Press meat setting on instant pot, close lock and dial to 15 minutes. Let it naturally release for 10 minutes, then manually release. Add drained artichokes and olives. Lock pot again, set on 5 minutes. 10 minute natural release.
02/24/2019
Very good. Made it according to the recipe. I will make it again.
12/29/2017
Excellent flavors, easy to assemble, and very eye-pleasing. I will make this again, and serve to a crowd. I made the recipe exactly as indicated. Next time I might add even more Mediterranean flavor with an anchovies or two.
07/03/2019
This is an awesome blend of ingredients. I did substitute a pork roast for the beef. Meat was delicious with the veggies and served over buttered egg noodles. Certainly a winner at our house!
04/18/2022
Loved this! Halved the beef broth, used more garlic cloves and after each bowl was dished sprinkled feta on top. The addition of feta cheese crumbles makes this really amazing.
01/06/2022
After reading the reviews, I made the adjustments and it was delicious! I used 12 oz beef broth and added the artichokes and olives after 4 hours in the slow cooker. I needed to use up some small potatoes, so served it over them. I did bake the potatoes.
08/06/2018
Amazing! We substituted protein for the beef and it was a keeper! Thank you!
12/31/2017
This one tasted very good, but unfortunately left us both with extremely dry mouths overnight. Thinking about it, so many ingredients are out of cans ... which, of course, really makes the recipe with high sodium content. Add on to that the artichokes which had been in brine (even though drained) ... we would not have this again due to very high sodium.
03/01/2018
Not enough flavor for me. Tasted kinda bland. Maybe double the spices?
07/07/2019
I give this 3 stars and will piggy back in everyone else's reviews regarding the amount of liquid. I put 10oz beef broth and was shocked at how soupy/watery it came out. I can't imagine what it would look like with the recommended 32oz. You could even get away with 8oz and be fine
01/04/2020
I took advice from the reviews. Did not add the artichokes and olives until the last hour. I also took the drained juice from the artichokes & olives and added beef broth to use to make rice. Also added 10 oz can of Tomato Paste instead of sauce. It was very delicious.
02/03/2020
Delicious! Added less broth and put artichokes and olives toward the end. Added extra cumin. Over rice... fantastical!
05/11/2019
I really want to give this 3.5 stars. It was just fine. I prepared it as described, noting others' comments to add artichokes and olives later so that they don't get mushy. The sauce was delicous and rich, but the dish itself needed something. Maybe red wine? I also think it would be improved by adding some carrots or mushrooms.
07/09/2019
I think I'd add the olives and artichoke at the end of the cook . There flavours were lost in the long slow cook .
07/08/2019
Flavor was good but sauce was too thin for pasta. Should have read the other comments before trying the first time.
07/08/2019
I added fresh mushrooms and I doubled the olives and artichokes. Also, I felt that it needed a punch, so I added cayenne pepper, Since I'm on Keto, I aso put in a few servings of Shirataki spaghetti, which soaked up the deliciousness of the sauce. As advised by others that have tried this recipe, I halved the broth. Some fresh basil on top added a nice touch. I bought a 7 quart crockpot yesterday and started cooking in it before noon. Although I ate some around 8pm, it really wasn't ready until this morning! Next time I will make it with a better cut of meat.
02/21/2019
It's way too soupy for my family. I don't like it enough to try and tweak it.
06/21/2018
We didn't care for this at all.
10/28/2021
Didn't like this but its due to taste not the recipe
01/18/2021
Delicious!! Everyone loved it!! Thank you for this recipe!
