Step-by-step

Place cubes of beef in slow cooker.
In a small bowl combine flour, celery salt, garlic powder, ground ginger and pepper; sprinkle over beef.
In a medium bowl, combine tomatoes, carrots, potatoes, sherry, molasses and water; pour over beef.
Cook on low setting for 6 to 8 hours.

Traditional beef stews often rely on red wine and a quick stovetop sear to build deep savory profiles, whereas this slow-cooked German variation uses molasses and sherry combined with chuck roast to achieve a similar richness without requiring pre-cooking steps. Utilizing an eight-quart slow cooker prevents overcrowding and allows the liquid ingredients to fully submerge the two-inch beef cubes. Because chuck roast contains abundant connective tissue, keeping the heat setting on low for the full eight hours is critical for breaking down collagen into gelatin, which creates a naturally thickened gravy that holds up exceptionally well when chilled overnight. Storing leftovers in an airtight glass container within the refrigerator for up to four days actually improves the overall taste as the starches from the potatoes and the robust notes of the molasses continue to marry. When reheating portions on the stovetop, splash in two tablespoons of water to loosen the thickened sauce without scorching the bottom of the pan. Swapping the sherry for dry white wine or apple cider vinegar alters the acidity balance, though omitting the molasses entirely removes the signature dark caramel undertones that offset the natural tartness of canned tomatoes.
