Ingredients:
* 1 pound beef stew meat (such as chuck or round)
* 2 medium-sized carrots, peeled and sliced
* 2 medium-sized potatoes, peeled and cubed
* 1 large onion, chopped
* 2 cloves of garlic, minced
* 1 cup of red wine (optional)
* 1 cup of beef broth

2. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
4. Add the beef stew meat and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
5. Add the sliced carrots, cubed potatoes, red wine (if using), beef broth, tomato paste, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.

Variations:
* For a Spicy Version: Add 1-2 teaspoons of hot sauce (such as Frank's RedHot) to the pot during the sauté phase.
* For a Mushroom Version: Add 1 cup of sliced mushrooms to the pot during the sauté phase.
* For a Red Wine Reduction Version: Simmer the stew on the "Saute" function for an additional 10-15 minutes to reduce the liquid and intensify the flavors.
Tips and Tricks:
* Use a variety of vegetables such as bell peppers, celery, or parsnips to create a unique flavor profile.
* For a more intense flavor, use 2 cups of beef broth and skip the red wine.
* Serve the stew with crusty bread, over mashed potatoes, or with a side of greens for a well-rounded meal.
