For a richer flavor, consider using a dark beer like a stout or porter. Browning the beef in batches is crucial for achieving a good sear, which adds depth to the stew. If you prefer a thicker stew, you can add a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water) during the last 30 minutes of cooking. Adding a bay leaf to the stew while it bakes can enhance the aromatic profile.

Apr 14, 2025I used Yukon Gold potatoes and they held their shape perfectly. The beef was so tender, it just fell apart.
