Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large yellow onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound red potatoes, cut into bite-sized chunks
- 4 large carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds
- 2 stalks celery, sliced
- 3 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 cup frozen peas
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, toss the beef cubes with flour, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches until a crust forms on all sides. Transfer the beef to the slow cooker.
- Add the chopped onion, garlic, potatoes, carrots, and celery to the slow cooker on top of the beef.
- In a small pitcher, whisk together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and rosemary. Pour this mixture over the beef and vegetables.
- Tuck the bay leaf into the liquid.
- Cover and cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours or on High for 4 to 6 hours. The beef should be very tender.
- About 15 minutes before serving, stir in the frozen peas. The heat from the stew will cook them perfectly.
- Remove the bay leaf and discard it.
- Taste the stew and add more salt or pepper if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
