Notes about this recipe

    OK, I don't know what it is about this recipe, but it was absolutely FIRE and maybe the tastiest "beef" (I used venison) stew I've ever made! I couldn't stop hitting the pot for more of the thick sauce alone. Just a wonderful rich texture, not greasy (maybe because it was venison), lick-the-bowl clean flavor. Only other note I'd add is for the tomato sauce, I used a small jar of fancy tomato-with-truffles sauce I had on hand that added a very subtle truffle flavor, so I'd definitely try to recreate that in the future by adding some dried or preserved truffles even with a regular tomato sauce.
