Place raw cubed beef in a slow cooker with these 3 simple ingredients — the result is unbelievably delicious.

This slow-cooked beef stew is pure comfort in a bowl. Serve it with a warm, crusty loaf of bread or creamy mashed potatoes to soak up the rich, savory gravy. Want a lighter touch? Pair it with a crisp green salad or steamed green beans. And if you’re in the mood to treat yourself, a glass of red wine complements the deep, hearty flavors perfectly.
