Texture: The meat is oh-so-tender. The most tender meat that has come out of my slow-cooker.
Ease: Super easy, one pot + one pan meal.

This Slow-Cooker Steak & Guinness Pie is rustic comfort food at its finest.
At the end of a cold or dreary day, there’s really nothing better than a hearty beef stew.
And let me tell you, the beef in this stew is so tender. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
If you know your slow-cooker tends to cook faster or slower, adjust accordingly. I tend to program mine for the very least amount of time given in a recipe and add more time if needed.
