    I agree with Rinshin - this is a very good beef stew! I liked the sauce's light sweetness and tang. This recipe's very similar to Julia Child's "Beef and Onions Braised in Beer" (my current favorite for this type of beef stew) except that it replaces some of the onion with potatoes and uses some extra beef stock instead of beer. If you like this recipe, you'll probably like the JC recipe, too!

    Simply fantastic. Rich, redolent flavor of caramelized onion and deeply browned chuck along with brown sugar, beer and bay leaf magically transform this dish to the place in Japan where onsen ryokan (hotspring inn) chef presented me with the best tasting beef stew ever. This is it! I added brown mushrooms and I think that was a good addition to this recipe. Total repeat.
