Put raw cubed beef in a slow cooker with these 3 ingredients. You won’t believe how good it tastes.

This hearty beef stew is perfect when paired with a warm, crusty loaf of bread or creamy mashed potatoes—both great for soaking up the rich, flavorful gravy. For a touch of freshness, serve it with a crisp green salad or some steamed green beans.

And if you’re in the mood to treat yourself, a glass of red wine pairs wonderfully with the deep, savory flavors of the stew.
