Here are some tips busy bees, allow the stew to undergo a natural pressure release, allowing the flavors to fuse perfectly. Before serving, taste the stew and make any necessary seasoning adjustments. A touch of fresh herbs, vinegar, or Worcestershire sauce can improve the overall taste! 🍲

Then, cut off extra fat from the meat to avoid greasiness. Brown the beef for a tasty crust, then sauté onions and garlic for a sweeter flavor. Adding a bit of broth or wine after browning boosts the stew’s taste. 👩‍🍳
