Roast Beef Leftovers (French Ragout)

 Sylvie Bhola (Ontario) says:
My family really loved this recipe, although I did make a few changes. I omitted the prunes, I figured that since I put in extra carrots there was enough fiber. I also put in the left over gravy from the night before. Once the vegetables were done I made some "glisades" and cooked for an additional 20 minutes.

Now that turned out to be a nice authentic French Ragout.

It's amazing what prunes can do for a beef stew. I highly recommend. They are a must for this recipe, IMO.

Delicious! Buy larger roast cut just for this leftovers dish! Amazing what prunes and lemon do for the flavor.
