Notes

For extra richness, deglaze the pot with a splash of red wine after searing the meat.
Leftovers taste even better the next day; store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
To freeze, portion into smaller containers and thaw overnight before reheating.
Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness—aim for an internal temperature of 190°F for tender beef.
