Instructions

- Stir until blended.
- Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Choose the right meat. Use tough, leaner cuts with minimal fat from the cow's front shoulder or rear end with connective tissue for juicy and tender meat that also naturally thickens and enhances the flavor of your stew.
- Don't rush this stew. It needs plenty of time to cook and the longer the better.
- Add hearty root vegetables like parsnips, sweet potatoes, carrots, winter squash or potatoes at the start and save less sturdy vegetables for the end of the recipe's cook time so you don't end up with mushy vegetables.
- Cook this cowboy beef stew with the lid on top to keep all of the liquid inside the stew and the flavors and heat evenly distributed. If your stew looks too watery, remove the lid for the last hour or so to allow some of the liquid to evaporate and create a stew with a thicker consistency and more concentrated flavor.
- Taste before serving to see if it needs anything else added to it to create the perfect stew for you.
