Frequently Asked Questions
Can I put raw beef directly into the slow cooker?
Yes, you can. However, browning the beef first creates a much deeper and richer flavor.
Can I use canned mushrooms?
Fresh mushrooms are recommended for the best texture and flavor, but canned mushrooms can be used if drained well.
Why is my beef still tough?
Tough beef usually means it hasn’t cooked long enough. Continue cooking on low until the connective tissue breaks down and the meat becomes tender.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Absolutely. In fact, the flavors become even better the next day, making it a perfect make-ahead meal.
