Notes
- For best results, sear your stew meat on all sides to brown it before cooking your stew. I like to do this in the same pot, as the browned bits at the bottom of the pot add so much flavor to the stew base. But, if you're making stew in a slow cooker, sear it in a pan first before adding to the pot.
- Pair this seasoning mix with fresh herbs, garlic, and diced onions for the best possible flavor. I personally love using fresh rosemary and thyme in my stew recipes.
- Adjust the amount of chili flakes and pepper to taste, according to your desired spice level.
