The quick and dirty way (just dump all the ingredients in the slow cooker and let it simmer all day long) or you can do a few pre-slow cooker steps on the stove top to really just make this dish pop.

To make this dish be the best beef stew recipe, we recommend doing the few extra quick steps on the stove top first.

First add the ghee to a large, deep skillet over medium-high to high heat. Once melted, add the beefcubes in a single layer and sear on both sides, about 4 minutes, turning them over once.

Next, stir in the onion and garlic and cook 1 minute, while continuing to stir.

After that, transfer the meat and garlic/onion mixture to a slow cooker along with the canned tomatoes,beef broth, bay leaf, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, celery, carrot, rutabaga, androsemary.

Next, cook on LOW for 7 hours or on HIGH for 4 hours.

After the cooking time has elapsed, add the beef gelatin to a small bowl and sprinkle the cold water on top. Let it sit for 2 minutes,and then mix in 1 cup of hot broth from the soup.

Then stir this mixture into the soup.

Finally, sprinkle the parsley on top and serve!
