Note

Storage: Allow leftovers to cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. Refrigerate for up to 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Substitutions: You can substitute margarine with butter or olive oil for a richer flavor. If you prefer no alcohol, use extra beef broth or water instead of beer.

Variations: Add diced carrots, potatoes, or celery along with the mixed vegetables for extra heartiness. For a thicker sauce, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir into the stew during the last 5 minutes of cooking.

Tip: For deeper flavor, sear the beef in batches to ensure a good brown crust, which enhances the savory notes of the final dish.
