Notes

Make savory beef stew in a slow cooker:
Savory beef stew can be easily made in a slow cooker by following the instructions to brown the ingredients in a pan and add them to a slow cooker instead of braising them in a dutch oven. Set the heat to low heat and cook for 5 hours.
For an alcohol-free version: Substitute an equal amount of broth, grape juice or cranberry juice for the wine.
Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms and 1/2 pound of potato quarters for a full meal.
Serve beef stew with mashed potatoes, spinach salad, or roasted vegetables.
Store leftover beef stew in the refrigerator for up to three days.
