For a richer flavor, try searing the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Adding a bay leaf to the stew while it simmers will enhance the depth of flavor. If you prefer a thicker stew, you can mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the stew during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
