Customization & Variations
- Meat: While sirloin steak is fantastic, you could experiment with other stew-friendly beef cuts like chuck roast, cut into similar 1 1/2-inch cubes.
- Vegetables: Feel free to add other root vegetables such as carrots or parsnips, cut into bite-sized pieces, alongside the potatoes for extra bulk and nutrition.
- Seasoning: For a touch of heat, a pinch of cayenne pepper can be added with the other spices. If you prefer a brighter herb note, dried rosemary would also complement the beef beautifully.
