For an even richer flavor, use homemade beef broth. Alternatively, add a splash of red wine when deglazing the pot after browning the beef. Browning the beef in batches is crucial for achieving a good sear and developing optimal flavor. Don't overcrowd the pot! Feel free to add other vegetables like parsnips, turnips, or celery to customize your stew. This stew tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to meld together. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
