Looking for a different kind of beef stew recipe.

1. My method for beef stew is different than most

The problem I have with traditional beef stew is that stewing meat for long periods tends to render the meat itself flavorless because all the flavors from the meat are washed out to make the broth. So what I do is stew the bones and all the other ingredients and cook the meat separately, then add the meat back into the mix just before serving. The way I do this is by cooking the meat by sous vide. Most people don't have the equipment to do sous vide, but there are other methods. Alton brown describes a method by which you braise the meat separately from the vegetables. As far as what spices and vegetables you use, you are only limited by your imagination.
