For a richer flavor, consider searing the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet. If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the lid during the last hour of cooking to allow some of the liquid to evaporate. Feel free to add other vegetables, such as carrots or celery, for added depth of flavor. Serve with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or basil for a vibrant finishing touch.
