Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup red wine
1 tablespoon Kitchen Bouquet
1 to 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
1 1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup water, if needed to get more liquid

Steps:

  • Prepare the slow cooker, setup next to outlet, put liner in it etc. Cut meat into 1/2 inch cubes (bite size) chuck eye steak it usually is about 1 inch thick, I cut it in half and then cut steak into smaller bite size pieces. Put olive oil in 12 inch fry pan and brown meat on all sides. While meat is browning, slice and dice the onion. When meat is brown take meat out of the fry pan with tongs or slotted spoon leaving the oil in the fry pan and put into the slow cooker. Next brown onion and garlic cloves in fry pan. When onions begins to brown and get soft dump into slow cooked. Next add the remainder of the ingredients, stir to combine. Liquid should cover meat. Cook 4 to 6 hours or until meat is tender per slow cooker instructions. Serve over white rice, with green peas and lots of gravy.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef. Chuck roast, brisket, and short ribs are all good options for beef stew.
  • Brown the beef before stewing. This will help develop flavor and color.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. Carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes are all classic stew vegetables, but you can also add other vegetables like parsnips, turnips, or rutabagas.
  • Add some herbs and spices. Common seasonings for beef stew include thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, and black pepper. You can also add a splash of red wine or Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour. This will allow the flavors to meld and the meat to become tender.
  • Serve the stew with mashed potatoes, rice, or bread.
