Note
For best results, ensure the steak is cut into uniform 1-inch cubes for even cooking.
If using a slow cooker, cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours.
This stew tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld further. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
You can substitute round steak with chuck roast for a richer flavor.
