In addition to rich beef stock, fresh herbs and a splash of Cabernet Sauvignon make this dish even better than the beef stew you remember from childhood. It's sophisticated - but not so much so that the kids won't eat it. In fact, my kids race one another to be "first in line" to fill their bowls. Paired with some rustic bread or biscuits, and you have a hearty meal that warms you up from the inside.
