Tips:

For a thicker stew, use stew meat with more fat. You can also add a tablespoon of cornstarch or flour to the stew before serving.

Use a variety of vegetables in your stew. This will add flavor and texture. Some good vegetables to use include potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, and peas.

Don't be afraid to experiment with different seasonings. Garlic, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves are all good additions to beef stew.

If you're using a slow cooker, cook the stew on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours.

If you're making the stew on the stovetop, bring it to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 1-2 hours, or until the meat is tender.

Serve the stew with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or rice.
