Remove pot. Take out meat and vegetables. Reduce sauce if needed for 5-10 min. Serve drizzled with sauce, sprinkled with parsley.
- Perfect sear: Don't rush this step. A beautiful color = deep flavors.
- Quality broth: It makes the sauce. A dehydrated cube works, but homemade broth is incomparable.
- Cooking control: The meat should be ultra-tender but not falling apart. If it resists, extend by 15-20 minutes.
- Whole vegetables: Adding potatoes during cooking prevents them from disintegrating.
