Delicious but I always find leaving meat in larger pieces than 1 inch cubes is truly best for tender meat without adjusting recipe timing. Mine are always 3 inches at least and keep their tenderness since less surface of meat is actually exposed during cooking and braising/simmering results are better. Everything else is fine including herbs. I suspect like most cooks, when seasoning I always use the taste buds to measure how much of any flavor I want rather than blindly following a recipe. Better to work upwards in flavor rather than deal with too much of anything.

A keeper! Great flavors Worth the effort
Did the recipe almost exactly as written. Added Mushrooms because we needed to use them. Added the Veggies a bit earlier than suggested based on other reviews and the soup came out with nice, complex yet comforting flavors. Will most def make again. Also a very affordable recipe!

A keeper!
Made this last night, and it came out fantastic. Based on other reviews about being bitter, I just added a Tbsp of brown sugar, and skipped the herbs at the end. I did add the carrots and potatoes when I put it in the oven initially, and cooked it for 2 hrs. The beef, carrots, and potatoes were all cooked perfectly. I think this tip fixes the potatoes being under cooked. Gravy was great, and not too thin.
