1. Step 1

   Begin by heating a large skillet over medium-high heat, then sear the stew beef for approximately two minutes on each side until nicely browned.

2. Step 2

   Once browned, drain any excess grease and transfer the beef to a 4-quart slow cooker.

   Generously season with salt.

   In the same skillet, add diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing them until they become tender, which should take about five minutes.

   This aromatic mixture then joins the beef in the slow cooker.

    Add the jasmine rice, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and let it simmer for 20 to 25 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
