  • On medium heat, fry beef in a frying pan until just brown.
  • Transfer beef to slow cooker.
  • Stir until evenly mixed and cover with a lid.
  • Let cook for 4-6 hours on high, or 10-12 hours on low, until meat is tender and cooked through.
  • minutes before the stew is done, mix cornstarch in a cup with a small amount of cold water until dissolved. Transfer cornstarch mixture to slow cooker and stir evenly.

Notes

Looking for a side dish to pair with this beef and fennel stew?
Try it with this low FODMAP tabouleh salad.
Other great mix-in options: a small dollop of sour cream or 1/4 of an avocado would be some other delicious topping options!
