Ingredients
- 2 lbs Beef stew meat
- 0.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 3 medium Carrots, sliced
- 2 stalks Celery, chopped
- 1.5 lbs Red potatoes, quartered

- 12 oz Abita beer (Amber or your choice)
- 2 cups Beef broth

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge the beef stew meat in the flour mixture, ensuring all pieces are lightly coated.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef in batches until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Transfer the browned beef to the crock pot.
In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion, carrots, and celery for about 5 minutes, or until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Transfer the mixture to the crock pot.
Add the quartered potatoes to the crock pot along with the Abita beer, beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme sprigs, and bay leaves. Stir gently to combine.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
During the last 30 minutes of cooking, add the frozen peas and stir to combine. Cover and continue cooking.
Remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaves before serving. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve hot with crusty bread or over rice for a flavorful and comforting meal.
