Notes
- Use chuck steak for best results as it becomes tender and flavorful when slow cooked.
- Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes hold texture well and absorb flavors elegantly.
- Homemade beef broth enhances the overall richness and depth of flavor.
- Check the meat tenderness before serving and cook longer if necessary to achieve desired softness.
- Leftovers taste even better the next day after flavors have melded.
