Notes

For a deeper flavor, marinate the beef in citrus juice, such as orange or lime, before cooking.
Browning the beef before stewing adds a rich color and enhances the taste.
Use homemade beef broth or stock for the best flavor, or choose low-sodium store-bought options.
If the stew is too thick, add a splash of broth or water to adjust the consistency.
Letting the stew rest for a few hours or overnight before serving allows the flavors to meld together.
