I like to cook my stew meat ahead of time, especially so I can use it for several different recipes. Meal prep is my favorite, and you can use roast beef in so many ways. I have listed a few of my favorite beef recipes below.
Should you cover your Stew Meat in liquid?
It is best to leave the meat slightly above the liquid. I like to add the seasonings to the top of the uncovered layer of roast to ensure it soaks up the most flavor. If it is completely submerged, you will likely have a flavorful broth, but your meat will be bland.
What causes Beef Stew Meat to be tough?
If your meat is tough. It is likely under-cooked. The best part of cooking in a crock pot is that you can get a tender bite every time. Cooking low and slow will ensure your meat is super tender.
