What cut of beef do you recommend for this recipe?
Hey! I’ve got this beef in the crockpot right now and just realized the recipe doesn’t say when to add the beef stock. At what point should it be added? Hopefully not at the beginning cause I’m 3.5 hours into cooking already. :)
Yes, it should go in at the beginning just for liquid while cooking. Sorry about that. You can still add it if you still have cooking time left on the meat.
