What spices should be used in this recipe?
The ingredients are usually a pre-made beef broth, mixed vegetables, chopped beef, salt, pepper, and potatoes. Different variations of the dish may also include other ingredients such as carrots or celery.
For example, you can use onions or garlic to flavor the stew. You can also use thyme to give it a more comforting feeling. Bay leaf will help to bring out the flavors of the meat and tomatoes will lend some acidity to the dish.
