What cut of beef works best for this recipe?

Sirloin works great if you want a tender but slightly leaner result. Stew meat is also a good option and becomes very soft during slow cooking. Just make sure the beef is cut into even cubes so it cooks evenly.

Can I add vegetables to this dish?

Yes, you can add carrots, mushrooms, or green beans. Add firmer vegetables at the beginning so they soften properly during cooking. For quicker vegetables, add them during the last hour so they keep some texture.

Do I need to sear the beef first?

Searing is optional. It adds extra depth of flavor and color, but the slow cooker will still produce tender, flavorful beef without that extra step.

Can I make this dairy free?

You can replace butter with a dairy free alternative or olive oil. The flavor will be slightly different, but the dish will still be rich and satisfying.

Can I cook this on HIGH instead of LOW?

Yes, cook on HIGH for about 4 hours. LOW for 7 to 8 hours produces slightly more tender beef, but both methods work well.
