Top Tips
- Sear your beef before stewing for deeper flavor - Taking the time to brown your beef cubes in batches creates a caramelized crust that adds incredible depth to the finished stew. Don't skip this step even when using a slow cooker because those browned bits (fond) left in the pot will dissolve into the liquid and enrich the entire dish.
- Cut vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking - When your potatoes, carrots, and other vegetables are roughly the same size, they'll all finish cooking at the same time. Aim for chunks that are about 1 to 1.5 inches so nothing turns to mush while other pieces stay hard.
- Add tender vegetables at the end - Heartier vegetables like potatoes and carrots can simmer for hours, but delicate ones like peas or green beans should go in during the last 15-30 minutes of cooking. This keeps them from becoming overcooked and losing their color and texture.
- Let it rest before serving for better flavor - Beef stew actually tastes better the next day as the flavors have time to meld together. If you can make it a day ahead, do it, or at least let it rest for 15-20 minutes before serving so the flavors can settle and deepen.
