For an even richer flavor, try searing the beef in bacon fat instead of vegetable oil. If you don't have chili sauce on hand, you can substitute with tomato paste and a pinch of cayenne pepper. A dark beer like a stout or porter will add a deeper, more complex flavor to the stew. To thicken the stew, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water to form a slurry. Stir the slurry into the stew during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
