Welcome to cooking with Claudia today I'm showing you how to make beef stew in The slow cooker this is a delicious Comforting dish that is so easy to make Let's get started We're using a chuck roast for this Recipe make sure your roast has a good Amount of fat marbles running through it Because that's going to make the meat Very juicy and flavorful start by Cutting up your meat into chunky cubes Just like I'm doing Once the meat is all cut up go ahead and Transfer it into a large mixing bowl Season the meat with salt and black Pepper to taste we're also seasoning With some oregano garlic powder Onion powder cumin and some chili powder Mix everything together very well once Everything is mixed in we're going to Sear the meat so heat up some oil in a Pan over medium high heat once the oil Gets very hot and Smoky Place half of The meat in Sear the meat for one minute on one side Then you're going to turn them over and Sear them for another one minute on the Other side we want the meat to have this Golden brown sear on both sides this is Going to add so much flavor to the beef
