• I use the following times for cooking, but everyone's stove, oven, crockpot are different, so use the following as a guideline only. When the meat is tender and the veggies are cooked through, it's ready! On Stove: Cover and bring to a low boil. Turn down heat and simmer on low heat for 1 1/2-2 hours. Turn the stew after 1 hour. In Crockpot: Put on high setting for 1 1/2 hours. Turn to low and leave for 4 hours. Turn stew after it has cooked for at least 3 hours and let it cook for another hour before serving. For oven: Bake at 325 for 2 hours, turn stew and let bake for another 1/2 hour.

• Return meat to pot.
• Add next 6 ingredients (if using wine, I recommend adding this first to deglaze) - bring to a boil, stirring up browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
