Why This Recipe Works
The magic of this stew lies in slow cooking. As the beef gently simmers for hours, it becomes fork-tender, while the vegetables absorb all the savory juices. With only five ingredients, each one plays an essential role in building flavor and texture.
Minimal effort. Maximum reward.
