1
Heat the butter in a large cast-iron skillet. Add the beef and cook for several minutes so that it is seared on all sides. Set aside.
2
Add the beef to a 5 qt. slow cooker, layering it in with the vegetables and herbs. Mix the spices with the balsamic vinegar and pour this in, along with the diced tomatoes and enough stock to cover the meat and vegetables.
3
Cook on high for 1-2 hours and then reduce the heat to low. Cook for another 6 hours, until the meat is very tender. Discard the bay leaves.

Serve individual bowls of stew garnished with additional fresh parsley and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
