@Luvsmyfam  I use chuck. I like the flavor of it better than stew meat. The fat in chuck makes a difference for me.

 

Enjoy your stew.Man Happy

I get my stew beef from Costco. Already cut into pieces and I just put them in the crockpot. I don't want to be bothered cutting up a hot piece of meat.

Stew meat, chuck roast, either one will work.  Cut up the roast first if using that, removing excess fat.  I once used a London broil for stew, cutting it up first, and it turned out good.
