For a richer flavor, use bone-in beef chuck roast and brown the bones along with the meat.
Add a splash of red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar at the end of cooking to brighten the flavors.

For a thicker stew, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir into the stew during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
