Slow Cooker 5-Ingredient Beef Stew

Ingredients

(Serves 6 generously)

The Soul of the Stew:

• 2 lbs (900g) boneless beef chuck roast, cut into 2-inch cubes (fat cap left on—trim after cooking)

→ Why chuck? Its marbling and connective tissue break down into gelatin during slow cooking—creating natural body and silkiness no roux can match

• 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1½-inch chunks (hold shape better than russets)

• 1 large yellow onion, roughly chopped (no need for precision—chunks soften into sweetness)
