🔪 Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Prepare the Beef
Start by checking your beef stew meat. If the pieces are large, cut them into bite-sized chunks for even cooking.
You don’t have to brown the beef first, but if you have a few extra minutes, searing it in a pan adds a deeper flavor. If you’re in a rush, skip this step—the slow cooker will still do a great job.
Step 2: Add Ingredients to the Slow Cooker
Place the beef directly into the slow cooker.
Pour in the beef broth, making sure the meat is mostly submerged. This liquid will slowly transform into a rich, flavorful base as the beef cooks.
