Note

For a richer gravy, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of cold water and stir into the stew during the last 30 minutes of cooking.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. The flavors often improve after sitting overnight.

You can add other root vegetables like parsnips or turnips for extra texture and flavor.
