Slow Cooker Caribbean Beef Stew

March 5, 2013

Dave and I got some beef that was on sale and first thing that came to mind was beef stew. I found the Food Network’s Slow-Cooker Caribbean Beef Stew recipe and it sounded perfect!  It was pretty good, but I realized after that I forgot the Worcestershire sauce.  Dave and I thought there was something missing from the flavor and this was probably it!
