Notes

For extra flavor, consider browning the stew meat in batches to ensure a good sear on each piece. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences, adding more salt, pepper, or herbs as needed. You can also add or substitute different vegetables based on seasonal availability or personal preference.
