I would use a recipe developed and tested for the slow cooker. Martha Stewart, not surprisingly, has one that's fairly similar to her Instant Pot recipe. https://www.marthastewart.com/335974/beef-stew. I'd use that recipe, adding a 14.5 ounce can of diced tomatoes (as well as the tomato paste called for in the recipe), well drained, and a quarter cup of Dijon mustard, with the tomatoes, tomato paste, etc. ;o)
I don’t know about all other recipes but for this I’d do the browning / stovetop portion either in a separate pan on the stovetop and then transfer to a crockpot on low all day, and I’d add the larger amount of water to account for steam escaping… if your crockpot has a true high setting you could brown everything in there and make it a one pot dish
