Notes
- Refrigerate leftover stew in an airtight container for up to 3 days for best flavor.
- For a richer taste, add a splash of red wine when reheating the stew on the stovetop.
- Serve this hearty stew with a side of crusty bread to soak up all the delicious gravy.
- Browning the beef in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker enhances the stew's depth of flavor.
