Slow Cooker Beef Stew
Slow Cooker Beef Stew uses chuck roast, root vegetables, and a seasoned broth slow-cooked to tender richness. The beef develops a deep flavor through browning before simmering with carrots, potatoes, onion, and garlic in a tomato and red wine-infused liquid. The stew thickens at the end by stirring in a flour slurry, creating a hearty, comforting dish.
