Notes
Chef Tips
If beef is tender but there is still too much liquid, whisk in 2 tbsp. cornstarch (mixed into a ¼ c. water). This will help to thicken the gravy and make the consistency closer to stew.
Optional, but recommended: Substitute chuck roast for round roast or rump roast to make a lighter, less fatty dish.
