The pomegranate juice in this recipe is what I use to replace the acidity tomatoes usually give to beef stew. Look for pure, unsweetened pomegranate juice, not a blend of juices. You can replace the pomegranate juice with homemade beef stock if desired. Serve with baked winter squash and a large green salad for a balanced meal. This recipe can be made in either a slow cooker or Instant Pot. I prefer to use the latter because of the amount of time saved!
