Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds stew meat (beef chuck) cut into 1½-inch cubes
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 3 carrots peeled and sliced into ½-inch rounds
  • 3 stalks celery chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 medium potatoes cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 cup dry red wine optional, enriches flavor
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for browning meat

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet and brown the stew meat in batches.
  • Transfer the browned meat to the slow cooker and deglaze the skillet.
  • Sauté onion, carrots, celery, and garlic in the skillet until softened.
  • Layer the veggies over the meat, add potatoes, and pour in broth, wine, and seasonings.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 7–8 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours until meat and potatoes are tender.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning. Thicken gravy if desired with cornstarch slurry.
  • Let the stew rest before serving. Garnish with parsley or chives.

Notes

Choose firm potatoes to avoid mushiness; trim excess fat from the meat; add fresh herbs at the end for a burst of flavor.
