For an even richer flavor, try using beef broth instead of water. A bay leaf added during the simmering process can also enhance the stew's depth of flavor. Remember to remove it before serving. If you prefer a thicker stew, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with two tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the stew during the last 15 minutes of cooking. Leftovers taste even better the next day!
