Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef. Chuck roast or brisket are both good options, as they are tough cuts that will become tender when braised.
  • Brown the beef before braising. This will help to develop flavor and color.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. Cabbage, carrots, onions, and celery are all good choices.
  • Add some herbs and spices. Thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves are all good options.
  • Cook the stew on low heat for a long time. This will help to tenderize the beef and allow the flavors to meld.
  • Serve the stew with a side of mashed potatoes or crusty bread.
