🍺 Choose a dark beer like stout or amber ale for deeper flavor, but any beer will work beautifully
🧅 Don’t rush the caramelization process – the deeply browned onions add incredible sweetness and depth to the dish
⏰ The longer you cook the beef, the more tender it becomes – aim for the full 3 hours for best results
