3-Step Execution Protocol
1
Preheat & Prep
Add beef chuck (stew meat, 1.5-inch cubes) (Cubed beef chuck (1.5-inch pieces), browned, simmered in red wine and beef stock with root vegetables) to the slow cooker. Set to 200°F (93°C).
2
Slow Cook
Cook for 420–480 mins. Keep lid on; do not stir unless specified.

Pro Tip: Cut stew meat into large 1.5-inch cubes rather than small 3/4-inch dice so pieces do not shred away into liquid during the 8-hour braise.
