Step-by-Step Instructions
First, I start by placing my beef stew meat into the slow cooker. I love using high-quality beef; it makes a huge difference in the final flavor. Next, I sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix over the meat, followed by pouring in the beef broth. The smell at this stage is so inviting, and I can already sense the flavors coming together! I give everything a good stir to ensure the meat is well coated. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
