For a deeper flavor, consider browning the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Adjust the amount of beef broth to achieve your desired stew consistency. Feel free to add other vegetables such as parsnips, turnips, or mushrooms to the stew. A bay leaf added during simmering can enhance the savory notes of the stew; remember to remove it before serving. Serve with crusty bread or a dollop of sour cream for a complete and satisfying meal.
