sry about the center part i cut and paste from a website sear the stew meat in a frying pan with a slight amount of oil. put the meat on the pan when it is really hot, you don't want to cook the meat, but just brown the outsides.
add all the ingredients, minus the salt (you can salt after cooking) and the seared beef into your crock pot.
it should not take more than 2-3 hours to finish the dish because the meat is in smallish pieces and it will be seared already.
good luck!! I would brown the beef in a skillet, then add that and all DRY seasonings to the crock pot and put it on low for about 6 hours. After that, add everything else, EXCEPT the water and let cook another two hours. If too thici when meat tender, add a little water. I'd brown the meat in advance,if that's important to the recipe, then put the whole thing in the crock pot and just let it cook for the day. You might want to put the potatoes in about noon, though, or they might get over-done.
I'd experiment with the water, too. Things done in the crock pot seem to need less water than things done on the stove. I would Google "Crockpot Recipes" and use one of theirs that is close. I've tried converting recipes and they never turn out right. One time I tried to make beef stew in the crockpot and it still wasn't done after 3 days and I had to throw it all out. The carrots were still raw. shake the meat in 1 cup flour seasoned with salt and pepper then browm in skillet with 2 tbl. spns oil. put everything in crockpot for about 4 hrs on high. check you water level in about 2 to 3 hrs. might have to put a little more water in it. I would say by the volume of the other stuff to the water the proportions are about right. But I wouln't try to cook stuff in the crock pot first without liquid. Crock pots aren't meant for dry cooking.
