For a richer flavor, sear the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Add a bay leaf or a sprig of fresh thyme to the slow cooker for extra depth of flavor. Remember to remove before serving. If you don't have Marsala wine, you can substitute with dry red wine or beef broth. To make ahead, allow the stew to cool completely before transferring it to a freezer-safe container or bag. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating in the slow cooker or on the stovetop.
