- ✓For a deeper flavor, you can sear the beef and then deglaze the pot with a splash of red wine before adding the broth.
- ✓If the stew is too thin, you can thicken it by mixing a tablespoon of cornstarch with a little cold water and stirring it into the simmering stew.
- ✓This stew tastes even better the next day as the flavors have more time to meld.
