Mix the beef chunks in flour, salt, and pepper. Shake the beef, flour, salt, and pepper in a large zip-top bag, or stir them in a large mixing bowl.

Sauté the ground beef. It is essential to brown the meat in a frying pan before adding it to the slow cooker. This step creates a mouthwatering thick layer on the beef pieces and sears in the meat juices. Place the beef cubes at the bottom of your slow cooker after searing them.

Sauté the onion and garlic. Because you have a hot skillet, searing the onion and garlic in the beef drippings for a few minutes is easy. You're adding delicious flavor layers to your stew.

Now add all the other contents, like vegetables, into the pot.

Seasonings should be tasted and adjusted. Always start with less salt. If required, add the salt once the beef stew is fully cooked.

Serve hot, and relish the taste in your mouth!
