For a richer flavor, marinate the beef cubes in a mixture of olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before assembling the stew. Add other vegetables such as mushrooms, bell peppers, or zucchini for added nutrition and flavor. Ensure the foil packet is tightly sealed to prevent steam from escaping and drying out the stew. If cooking over a campfire, use heavy-duty foil or double-wrap the packet to prevent tearing. Cooking times may vary depending on the heat of the oven or campfire. Check for doneness by piercing the beef and potatoes with a fork.
