Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup frozen peas

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pat beef cubes dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.

  3. In the same skillet, sauté onion, carrots, and celery until softened (5-7 minutes).
  4. Add garlic and tomato paste; cook 1 minute more.
  5. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir to create a roux (1 minute).
  6. Gradually whisk in beef broth, ensuring no lumps.
  7. Stir in diced tomatoes (undrained), peas, corn, thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce (if using).
  8. Transfer browned beef and vegetable mixture to a slow cooker. Add cubed potatoes.
  9. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours, or until beef is tender.
  10. About 30 minutes before serving, check seasoning; adjust salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce as needed.
  11. Remove bay leaves. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use good quality beef stew meat.
  • Browning the beef is crucial for developing rich flavor in your crockpot beef stew.
  • Do not overcrowd the slow cooker; allow space for simmering.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and freeze well.
