For a richer flavor, use bone-in beef chuck and brown it thoroughly before adding the other ingredients.
A bay leaf added during simmering can enhance the depth of flavor. Remember to remove it before serving!
If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can whisk in a slurry of cornstarch and water (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water) during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh parsley for added flavor and visual appeal.
