  • Brown the beef properly: Browning the beef adds flavor and helps to lock in its juices. Cook the beef over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until it is browned on all sides and cooked through.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for a variety of vegetables, including carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes. Feel free to add or substitute other vegetables that you enjoy, such as green beans, peas, or corn.
  • Add herbs and spices: Herbs and spices add flavor and depth to the stew. This recipe uses a combination of oregano, thyme, garlic powder, and onion powder. Feel free to adjust the amounts or use other herbs and spices that you prefer.
  • Don't overcook the stew: The stew is done when the vegetables are tender and the beef is cooked through. Overcooking the stew can make the vegetables mushy and the beef tough.
