BEEF STEW/ CHOLENT FOR CROCK POT

Beef Stew/ Cholent for Crock Pot image

I worked on my stew recipe for several years before I perfected it to what it is today! Every time I serve this for Shabbat lunch, it's completely devoured. It's ultra simple and always comes out great. If you're making this for shabbos, cook it fully Friday afternoon and keep the crockpot on the "warm" setting until serving. You can also make the recipe by substituting one can of chicken stock with a can of beer.

Tips:

Prep Ahead: Save time by prepping your ingredients the day before. Chop vegetables, soak beans, and marinate meat if needed.
Brown the Meat: For richer flavor, brown your meat in a pan before adding it to the slow cooker.
Layer Ingredients: Layer your ingredients in the slow cooker to ensure even cooking. Place denser vegetables like potatoes and carrots on the bottom, and lighter vegetables like zucchini and tomatoes on top.
Use Broth or Stock: Instead of water, use broth or stock for extra flavor. You can also add a splash of white wine or beer for depth of flavor.
Season Wisely: Don't over-season your cholent. Start with a moderate amount of salt and pepper, and taste before adding more.
Cook on Low: Cook your cholent on low for 8-10 hours. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
Serve with Sides: Serve your cholent with a variety of sides, such as challah bread, matzo balls, or kugel.
