Serving:

Tips for Success:
- For a deeper flavor, marinate the beef in the wine and seasonings for a few hours or overnight before cooking.
- Adjust the thickness of the stew by adding more or less of the flour mixture according to your preference.
- This dish can be prepared ahead of time and reheated, allowing the flavors to meld even further.
