The stew turned out pretty good. The meat is tender and falling apart, the veggies are cooked perfectly and the gravy is wonderfully reduced. There is only one problem, the flavor is flat to me. Maybe it was just because I tasted it all day while it was cooking, but there was no depth to the end product. I used so many different flavors and tried to layer them, but I am still missing something. It is missing umami, the savory deliciousness that only a demi-glace and a good red wine would have added. Next time, I will get it.

I stewed it.
