Beef & Mushroom Braised Stew image

Every spring, my family heads out to our timber acreage to collect morel mushrooms, and then we cook up this stew. We use morels, of course, but baby portobellos or button mushrooms or will work, too. -Amy Wertheim, Atlanta, Illinois

This stew was easy to make and turned out great! The beef was fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
