Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by chopping the beef chuck into bite-sized cubes, ensuring even cooking throughout your slow cooker creamy Dijon beef stew.
  2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add a drizzle of oil and brown the cubed beef for about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the beef to the slow cooker.
  3. Add the browned beef, mushrooms, potatoes, onions, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, heavy cream, and beef broth to the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Cover your slow cooker and set it to low for 7-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours.
  5. To thicken the stew, mix cornstarch with cold water until smooth and stir into the stew, cooking uncovered on high for an additional 10-15 minutes.
