This no-fuss crockpot stew requires zero browning or sautéing. Just dump everything in and let it cook all day while the tapioca works its magic as a thickener. Come home to fork-tender beef in a velvety tomato-based broth studded with vegetables.

Pro Tips

Trim all visible fat from the beef before cooking (prevents greasy broth)
Quick-cooking tapioca is the secret to perfect thickness without flour or cornstarch
Remove bay leaves before serving (they’ve done their job flavoring the stew)
