For a richer flavor, try searing the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the stew to your liking. Thyme, bay leaf, and garlic are excellent additions. If you prefer a thicker stew, you can add more cornstarch slurry or simply simmer the stew uncovered for the last 15-20 minutes to allow some of the liquid to evaporate. The stew tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to meld together.
