  • Adding Aromatics and Herbs: Enhance the flavor of the beef by adding aromatic vegetables like onions, carrots, and celery, along with herbs such as thyme, oregano, and rosemary.
  • Using a Good Quality Broth: Select a flavorful broth, such as beef broth or a combination of beef and chicken broth, to create a rich and savory cooking liquid.
  • Simmering the Beef: Allow the beef to simmer on low heat for 8-10 hours or on high heat for 4-6 hours, until it becomes fall-apart tender.
