Instructions

Pat the halal beef cubes dry with a paper towel and season them generously with salt and black pepper. Optionally, sear the beef in a hot skillet with a little oil until browned on all sides before transferring to the slow cooker
Place the chopped potatoes, carrots, onions, and minced garlic into the bottom of the slow cooker in uniform sizes
In a medium bowl, whisk together the halal beef broth, tomato paste, tamari, lemon juice, and dried herbs. Pour this mixture over the meat and vegetables in the slow cooker
Cover and cook on LOW for 7 to 8 hours, or on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours (LOW is highly recommended for maximum tenderness)
About 30 minutes before serving, whisk the cornstarch with two tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl to create a slurry. Stir this slurry into the stew and cook for the remaining 30 minutes until the gravy thickens

Notes

Always choose a well-marbled cut of meat like chuck roast to ensure it becomes melt-in-your-mouth tender.

Cut vegetables into large, bite-sized chunks to prevent them from turning mushy during the long cooking process.

If you choose to sear the beef, deglaze the pan with a splash of broth to scrape up the flavorful brown bits and add them to the slow cooker.

Let the stew rest for ten minutes before serving to allow the temperature and flavors to stabilize.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
