Beef Stew Slow Cooker Recipe

Beef Stew Slow Cooker Recipe


  • Total Time: 37 minute
  • Diet: Gluten-Free

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

  1. In a medium bowl, toss the beef cubes with flour, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  2. 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.
  3. Add the chopped onion, garlic, potatoes, carrots, and celery to the slow cooker on top of the beef.
  4. In a small pitcher, whisk together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and rosemary. Pour this mixture over the beef and vegetables.
  5. Tuck the bay leaf into the liquid.
  6. Cover and cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours or on High for 4 to 6 hours. The beef should be very tender.
  7. About 15 minutes before serving, stir in the frozen peas. The heat from the stew will cook them perfectly.
  8. Remove the bay leaf and discard it.
  9. Taste the stew and add more salt or pepper if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
