In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the stew along with the chopped fresh parsley. Simmer until the stew has thickened to your desired consistency (about 5 minutes).
For a richer flavor, consider using bone-in beef shanks or short ribs in addition to the stew meat.
Experiment with other root vegetables such as parsnips, turnips, or sweet potatoes.
If you don't have fresh parsley, dried parsley can be substituted. Use about 1 teaspoon of dried parsley for every tablespoon of fresh.
To make beet eggs, hard-boil eggs and then soak them in a mixture of beet juice, vinegar, and a touch of sugar for several hours or overnight.
