Notes

For best results, ensure that the beef is browned well for extra flavor before adding it back to the pot. Adjust seasoning according to taste, and consider adding a splash of apple cider vinegar for an additional tangy note. If the stew is too thick, you can add more beef broth to reach your desired consistency.
