# Tips from dashanddishes:

01 -
  • The tender beef and hearty vegetables blend together like a comforting secret you want to keep sharing
  • Its simple ingredients became my go-to for busy nights that still deserve a bit of homemade care
02 -
  • Brown the beef well; skipping this makes your soup less flavorful than it deserves
  • Adding green beans and peas late keeps the vibrant color and perfect texture alive
03 -
  • Pat the beef dry before browning to avoid steaming and ensure a good crust
  • Simmer gently rather than boiling to keep the beef tender and flavors balanced
