Generally overview of how a stew works. Season and brown the meat first is key then set aside. Then build a base with onion, garlic, and carrot by frying it in oil. Add beef stock and tomato paste. Throw in a sprig of rosemary and a sprig of thyme and a large cubed up russet potato. Cook until the potatoes are soft then toss the beef in at the end. Eat with some good bread.
If you like your stew a little thicker toss 2 tablespoons of flour in with the beef at the end of its cooking and toss them around. Some will stick to the pan. Move the beef to a bowl. Deglaze the pan with some red wine or beef stock. Then pour the wine/flour slurry over the beef in the bowl. When you add the meat back to your stew put everything in the bowl(The beef and the flour slurry) into the pot and the beef stock will thicken a little and you’ll get a more gravy-like stew.

Judging by the sale price and the sell-by date, quickly and with some urgency!
But honestly, stew meat is for stew and the sky is the limit. If it’s me, I’m searing it with some onions and peppers in my enameled cast iron Dutch oven, throwing in a bunch more vegetables like carrots and celery, maybe some chopped potatoes, probably a bunch more onions, salt and herbs, maybe some crushed tomatoes from a can, putting in a reasonable amount of water, and cooking it a bit above low for a couple hours until it gets nice and thick. Might put barley in, might not, maybe a pinch of red wine, maybe not.

I’d sear it and slow cook it. Can’t really tell what the seasonings are but I’d throw in some adobo peppers, onions, and a little water and turn it into tacos. Get some cilantro and chopped onion on top.

Crockpot – Beef stew.

Medium sized pot. Medium heat.
Extra to get:
1 beer
1 slice of bread
1 onion.
Mustard.
1 tablespoon of jam or preserve. apple is good , pear is good , anything will do.
1 clove. (if you have it)
1 bay leaf. (if you have one)
1/2 to 1 tablespoon of vinegar depending on taste and how much vinegar was in your mustard.
Add some margarine, Roughly cut up the onion in the margarine and let it glaze a bit. throw in the content of your meat box, let it brown a bit, turn the chucks. When all sides of the meat have browned a bit add 1 beer. Add 1 slice of bread spread with mustard (the amount you would spread peanut butter) . Add the tablespoon of jam. Put the lid back on if you have time, else leave it half off, put your heat to low.
When your sauce is somewhat thick (1-3 hours ) and your meat is tender finish with a bit of vinegar.
Add salt and pepper to taste at the end since your meat is already seasoned.

1. Do not buy precut beef for stew. You don’t know what you’re buying.
2. Do not buy pre-seasoned beef for stew. You don’t know what it will taste like.

It’s stew meat so it will be tough as leather. It will definitely need to be simmered in liquid for a couple hours

Might be best for soup or some chunky chili.

If the packaging isn’t flat and it is more bloated then it’s spoiled.
