Notes: Cook's Tips
Browning beef before simmering it in a stew produces juicy, extra-flavored meat. Pat the meat dry with paper towels before adding it to the hot pan.
When sautéing onion and garlic, sauté the onion first. Onion needs a longer cooking time and garlic may burn if cooked for too long at too high a heat.
