I'm looking for a new way to cook my favorite beef stew. Do you have any suggestions?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
You might want to try slow cooking it. This method breaks down the connective tissues in the meat, making it tender and flavorful.<|im_end|>

That sounds great. What's the best way to slow cook beef stew?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
You can use a slow cooker or a Dutch oven on low heat. Brown the meat first, then add your vegetables and broth, and let it cook for 6-8 hours.<|im_end|>

Okay, that's easy enough. Do I need to stir it a lot during those 6-8 hours?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
No, one of the benefits of slow cooking is that it requires minimal stirring. Just let it cook undisturbed, and you'll have a delicious, tender stew when it's done.<|im_end|>
