Analyzing cooking steps...
Using a cut like chuck roast is ideal because it becomes incredibly tender after slow cooking.
The key to a flavorful stew is getting a deep, dark caramelization on the beef. Don't rush this step.
Seasoning each layer of the dish—the meat and then the vegetables—builds a more complex and well-rounded flavor.
This stew is excellent for meal prepping. It can be stored in the fridge for several days or frozen in portions for a quick, hearty meal later on.
Using low-sodium beef broth allows you to control the final saltiness of the stew more accurately.
