Beef Stew Meat in Slow Cooker
Because this beef stew is made in a slow cooker, it is easy to make. Besides browning the beef, everything else is tossed into the slow cooker.
First Step to Making Beef Stew Meat Recipe
- Cut as much fat off the roast as possible.
- Season the beef stew meat well with salt and pepper.
- Cover the meat with the flour.
- Heat the oil in a skillet on the stove and add the roast.
- Sear and brown every side of the roast.
How do you make beef stew meat taste better?
Searing the meat takes a little longer than tossing everything in a slow cooker, but do not skip the searing. The meat develops a dark brown crust and fond develops in the skillet. Add a little liquid, some of the beef broth works well, and deglaze the skillet. Take your spoon and scrape the fond off the bottom of the skillet. Next, pour everything in the skillet into the slow cooker. Deglazing the pan adds lots of flavor to the beef.
How do you make beef stew meat tender?
Beef Stew meat needs to be cooked low and slow. Do not cook it at a high temperature. The best way to do this is in a slow cooker. If you rush the cooking process, the stew meat will be tough. If you are cooking your beef stew in a dutch oven, cook it low and slow at least two hours. You can do this on top of the stove or in the oven. Unlike the slow cooker, you will have to stir your stew to keep it from sticking or burning.
What is the best meat for beef stew?
Beef chuck is a good choice because it is inexpensive. As long as you cook the meat down for hours, it works well. Beef round is also a good choice. Beef chuck meat includes Chuck, Chuck Shoulder, Chuck Roast, Top Chuck, and Chuck-Eye Roast.
Can you use any beef for beef stew?
Yes, you can! Again, as long as you cook it long and slow. Before cutting the heat to your stew, taste a piece of the meat. If it is still chewy, it needs to cook a little longer.
Second Step: Slow Cooker
- Add the roast in a large 6-quart crock-pot.
- Dice the potatoes, onions, and carrots and add them to the slow cooker.
Third Step: Other Ingredients
- Add the remaining ingredients and cook for 6 hours on low in a slow cooker.
