For a richer flavor, consider browning the beef cubes in a skillet with a little olive oil before adding them to the slow cooker. This adds an extra layer of depth to the stew. Feel free to experiment with different types of mushrooms, such as cremini or shiitake, for a more complex flavor profile. If you prefer a thicker stew, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a tablespoon of cold water and stir it into the stew during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
