Variations & Tips
For a richer flavor, you can sear the beef in a hot skillet before adding it to the slow cooker. If you like a thicker stew, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a little water and stir it into the stew about 30 minutes before it’s done cooking. You can also add other vegetables like peas or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrition. If you prefer a bit of spice, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a splash of Worcestershire sauce.
