Notes

Cooking Process

Whether you’re cooking beef stew or chitterlings in a crock pot, you must follow certain steps. Here learn about the steps.

Step 1: Prepare The Veggies

Put the carrot, potatoes, and tomatoes in the crockpot. Keep the beef broth and apple juice/grape juice ready.

Step 2: Prepare The Meat

Take the chunks of stew meat and pat dry those with paper towels. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and flour, and toss them to get evenly seasoned. Then, fry brown those chunks on the stove. Put the fried brown (not fully cooked) meat chunks in the crockpot.

Step 3: Deglaze The Pan

After frying the meat, don't wash the pan. We need to deglaze here which means on the pan we'll add some liquid that'll loosen the flavourful residues of meat at the bottom of the pan. Heat the pan again and add 2 tbsp of oil. Add onions when the oil is hot.
Once the onions are translucent, add cooking wine and beef broth. Once the liquid is boiling, turn off the stove and pour it into the crockpot.

Step 4: Seasoning Time

Add mushrooms and other seasoning spices including bay leaves. Stir lightly to combine the mixture.

Step 5: Cooking Time

If you set it at a low temperature then for 9-10 hours, medium for 7-8 hours, and high for 6-7 hours. And you'll be done!
