Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast or stew meat are good options because they are tough cuts that become tender when slow-cooked.
- Brown the beef before stewing: This will help to develop flavor and color.
- Use a good quality red wine for the stew: A dry red wine, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, will add depth of flavor to the stew.
- Add some acidity to the stew: This can be done with a splash of vinegar, lemon juice, or even a spoonful of yogurt.
- Don't overcook the stew: The beef should be tender, but not mushy.
- Serve the stew with a crusty bread or mashed potatoes.
