Notes
For a deeper flavor, consider marinating the beef in spices and broth overnight before cooking. You can add additional vegetables like carrots or potatoes for more nutrition. If you prefer a thicker broth, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water and stir it into the stew during the last 10 minutes of simmering.
