Most beef stew recipes are the same. There are only so many “secret” ingredients you can add to something that is a classic like this. The trick here isn’t adding something so drastically new that all of a sudden you have something better than anyone else. It’s all about how to develop these flavors and deepen them with the same ingredients as everyone else.
