Tips for getting the most out of this recipe:
While this process is not compulsory, always sear the beef prior to placing it in the crockpot to increase the flavor profile.
For variation, additional vegetables can be added as well such as Carrots, Celery, Parsnips, or Peas.
For a more dense stew, add a cornstarch slurry constituting one tablespoon of cornstarch with two table spoons of water in the last thirty minutes of cooking.
