Nothing is better than a hearty bowl of slow-cooker beef stew on a fall or winter day. It’s the type of meat-and-potatoes recipe<\/a> I crave when I want a warm dish that won’t weigh me down.

All those sweet carrots, creamy potatoes and juicy tomatoes keep the stew from feeling overly heavy.<\/p>\n

Making beef stew in a slow cooker<\/a> is a hands-off way to ensure that the beef becomes mouth-wateringly tender. Plus, the long eight-hour cooking process transforms the stewing liquid into a savory gravy that’s so good you’ll want to lick the bowl clean. Serve this slow-cooker beef stew recipe with biscuits or homemade rolls<\/a> to sop up every last bite!<\/p>\n

What is the best beef for beef stew?<\/h2>\n

The secret to a great stew is choosing the right beef stew meat<\/a>, and chuck roast rises to the top of our list. This tough, meaty cut comes from the front shoulder and contains collagen-rich connective tissue that keeps the meat tender as it cooks and enriches the stewing liquid with an incredible body. Bottom round or rump roast are also good choices for stew, but they don’t become quite as tender as chuck.<\/p>\n
