Critical Success Points

  • Marinating the beef for at least 15 minutes
  • Browning the meat to develop flavor
  • Simmering low and covered for 45 minutes to tenderize the beef
  • Mashing a portion of potatoes to naturally thicken the stew

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot oil and the Dutch oven with oven mitts to avoid burns
  • Use a sturdy fork or masher when mashing potatoes to prevent splatter
  • Be careful when lifting the lid; steam can cause burns
