Instructions
- 1
Pat the beef cubes dry with paper towels and season all over with 1 tsp fine sea salt. Heat 2 tbsp coconut oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in two batches to avoid crowding, sear the beef for 3–4 minutes per side, undisturbed, until a deep brown crust forms on each side. Transfer the seared beef to the slow cooker insert.

Reduce the skillet heat to medium. Add the onion and celery to the residual fat and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 4–5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Scrape the onion mixture into the slow cooker.
