Notes
I like to use stew meat for this recipe as it is already cut into bite sized chunks (lazy me!) and it is quite economical. If you are not a fan of stew meat, round steak or sirloin steak can be cute into bite sized pieces and used instead.
To add an even richer quality to the sauce, add 4 tablspoons butter along with the other sauce ingredients at the beginning.
You do not need to brown the meat first before adding it to this recipe. However, if you would like to, it will add additional color and flavor to the final dish.
