How to Cook Beef Stew Recipe in Slow Cooker or Crock Pot 

1. Check out the full recipe in the recipe box below or print out the recipe. Cut the beef into small bite sized pieces. Traditional “Beef Stew” size is best. Just make sure they’re all evenly sized cut so they can cook evenly.
2. Does your slow cooker have a “sauce” function? If so, try sautéing the onion, beef and garlic first before adding all the liquids in.
3. Add tomato sauce, cubed beef, beef stock and other spices into the slow cooker. Make sure to push all the ingredients under the sauce so it’s fully immersed before you start slow cooking.
4. Close the lid and come back to a favorite classic comfort dish everyone will enjoy!
