Beef cubes, sautéed then stewed with potatoes and peas in a broth.
A «fricassee» [pr. FRIHK-uh-see] is a dish of meat that has been sautéed in butter before being stewed with vegetables. It used to be a common way to use up leftovers from a Sunday roast, but it is so delicious that I don't wait for leftovers to make it.

The recipe is very simple and has few ingredients, but they mix together super well and if you sear the beef instead of cooking it (by following the recipe properly) you end up with such a delicious treat! Looking forward to making it again.
Just like my mom used to make. She never left me her recipe. Thank you.
I love food but my dear hubby is a very very very picky eater. He loved this recipe as much as I did. In fact, I made a double batch and he asked for some to take in the truck when he heads out on the road tomorrow. If you know my hubby, you know that is a great compliment.
Great tasting home cooked meal like mom would make! It's not 'pretty' per say, but so tasty! I might try adding more broth since I kind of ran out for the last serving and had to ration it. Will definitely make this again!
Followed the recipe almost exactly. Love the fact that it is simple, straight-forward recipe. Turned out great. Will definitely make this again.
I make this recipe without the celery since I find it makes it taste watery. I use sweet potatoes instead of regular. I find it makes the broth much more savory and it is also healthier. Another variant: I simply add about 1/2 tbsp (or more depending on your taste) of yellow curry when I brown the onions and garlic.
After sautéing the meat & vegetables I put everything in the slow cooker on low so it was ready when I came home. I added curry as someone suggested. I think it would be good with Marmite added. I de-glazed the pan with a little left over red wine as well as the liquid called for in the recipe.
