2. Add the stew meat to a large bowl, and season liberally with salt and pepper. Toss the meat until it is fully coated, and set aside.
3. Over medium heat, heat the olive oil in a skillet.
4. Add the garlic, and sauté for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.

7. Add the browned beef to the slow cooker, and stir to combine with the vegetables.
8. Place the lid on the slow cooker, and cook on high for 5 hours. After 5 hours, taste the stew, and adjust the salt if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley.
