Here's my beef stew. I would just go ahead and add the seasoning packet to this recipe. Maybe omit the Italian dressing and salt and pepper.

2 pounds beef stew meat, cubed
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups beef broth or stock
1 cup tomato sauce or tomato juice
1/3 cup Italian dressing
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 large onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
4 carrots, sliced
4 russet potatoes, diced
2 stalks celery, diced

Place all ingredients in slow cooker, stir, place lid on top and cook on high for 4-6 hours, or low for 8-10 hours.

Answer 4

Use vegetables on hand for this tasty slow-cooked beef stew. The condensed beef broth keeps it flavorful, and the wine adds a little zing. If you don't have the wine, more beef broth or water will work fine.

INGREDIENTS:

1 1/2 to 2 pounds stewing beef, cut in 1/2 to 1-inch cubes
2 to 3 medium potatoes, cubed
1 medium turnip, cubed
1 cup sliced carrots
1/2 cup chopped onions
1/4 to 1/2 cup sliced celery
1/2 to 1 cup sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup butter beans or lima beans
1 can (10 1/2 ounces) condensed beef broth
1/4 cup red wine
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
pinch thyme
3 tablespoons flour blended with 1/4 cup water
1/2 cups frozen mixed vegetables, corn, or peas, optional

PREPARATION:

In slow cooker, combine beef, potatoes, turnip, carrots, onions, celery, mushrooms, butter beans, beef broth, wine, salt, and pepper. Cover and cook on LOW for 9 to 12 hours, or on HIGH for 5 to 6 hours.

Add thyme and frozen mixed vegetables, corn, or peas, thawed, if using. Pour liquids into a medium saucepan and simmer to reduce slightly. If desired, skim off excess fat. Add the flour and water mixture and simmer until thickened. Add back to vegetables and continue cooking on LOW until serving time.

Answer 5

Dice some potatoes, carrots, onions, leeks, mushrooms, sweet potato, turnip, swede. Chuck it into the slow cooker, add some diced beef, garlic, mustard seed, salt, pepper, worcestershire sauce and the beef stew seasoning packet and then go and lie down for a few hours!!

Make sure you parboil the veg first otherwise it won't cook as quick as the meat and will be too hard.

Answer 6

Get the best meat you can. I use free range beef from a highly reputable meat market.
Trim the stew meat carefully. Remove any gristle, sinew, or fat.
Brown the beef cubes in a skillet. (One may dredge them first in flour if one wishes - it will thicken the stew while the meat cooks)
Add to slow cooker with chopped onion, potatoes, carrots, celery, and turnips. (You can replace the turnips with a small can of diced Ortega chilies) Add a small amount of liquid - red wine or beef broth - and cook according to cooker directions. Add your seasoning packet or not. If not, season with herbs, salt, and pepper.
