16. #### Instructions:
18. 1. **Prepare the Ingredients**: Start by washing all vegetables thoroughly. Finely chop the onions and mince the garlic. Slice the carrots into thin rounds.
20. 2. **Layer in the Crock Pot/Slow Cooker**: Begin with a layer of caribou meat at the bottom of your crock pot or slow cooker. This will help keep the stew ingredients together as they cook.
22. 3. **Add Aromatics and Vegetables**: Sprinkle the finely chopped onions over the meat, followed by minced garlic for extra flavor. Place sliced carrots on top.
24. 4. **Pour in Broth and Tomatoes**: Pour 1 cup of beef broth evenly over the meat, vegetables, and garlic. Add a can of diced tomatoes, ensuring they are well distributed throughout the stew mixture.
26. 5. **Seasoning**: Add salt and pepper to taste. If you like, add some dried thyme or other herbs for additional flavor depth.

36. - **Check Seasoning**: Taste the stew after about 4 hours of cooking. Adjust salt, pepper, or herbs if necessary.
37. - **Simmer Longer for Tenderness**: The longer the meat cooks, the more tender it will become. Ensure your crock pot or slow cooker is set on low heat to maintain a gentle simmer.

40. #### Serving Suggestions:
41. Serve the caribou stew hot over a bed of mashed potatoes or rice. Garnish with fresh parsley for an extra touch of color and freshness. Enjoy your delicious and warming caribou stew!
