MAKE-AHEAD SLOW COOKER BEEF STEW
Served with fresh bread and a salad, this hearty beef stew is a family favorite. It can be made fresh, browning the meat then tossing all the ingredients together in the slow cooker, or it can be prepared ahead of time for freezing and quick assembly for a quick crock pot meal when you need it! I like to make fresh stew, but double the ingredients and freeze the second portion for a quick dose of comfort food mid-week.

Steps:

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef. Chuck roast, round steak, and flank steak are all good options for beef marsala stew. These cuts are relatively inexpensive and have a good amount of flavor.
- Brown the beef before cooking. Browning the beef in a skillet before adding it to the slow cooker helps to develop its flavor and gives the stew a richer color.
- Use a good quality Marsala wine. The type of Marsala wine you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the stew. Choose a dry or semi-dry Marsala that is made with 100% Sicilian grapes.
- Don't overcook the stew. Beef marsala stew is best when it is cooked until the beef is tender but not dry. Overcooking the stew will make the beef tough and chewy.
- Serve the stew over pasta or rice. Beef marsala stew is traditionally served over pasta or rice. However, you can also serve it over mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
Conclusion:
Beef marsala stew is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of tender beef, rich Marsala wine, and savory mushrooms is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a hearty and flavorful stew, give beef marsala stew a try. You won't be disappointed!
