Recipe Tips
- Be sure to use a lean cut of beef brisket for this recipe. The fat will render out during the long cooking time and you will be left with tender, juicy beef.
- For a thicker stew, you can mash some of the potatoes with a potato masher. This will thicken the sauce and give the stew a creamy, comforting texture.
- This stew is delicious served with crusty bread for dipping into the sauce. You can also serve it over mashed potatoes or buttered egg noodles.
- For a vegetarian version, omit the beef and add extra vegetables, such as mushrooms, bell peppers, or corn. You can also add cooked beans for extra protein.
