Step-by-Step Instructions
To get started, I first brown the beef stew meat in a skillet over medium heat. This step not only enhances the flavor but also helps to lock in the juices. I then transfer the browned beef to my slow cooker. Next, I add the diced onion, minced garlic, and those beautiful sliced mushrooms right on top of the meat. The aroma fills my kitchen with a warm, inviting scent that makes me hungry even before it’s cooked! After that, I mix together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper, and pour it over everything in the slow cooker. I love how easy this is!
