Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1 large yellow onion
- 4 medium carrots
- 3 medium russet potatoes
- 2 celery stalks
- 3 garlic cloves
- 4 cups beef broth
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup frozen peas
Instructions
Cut the beef chuck roast into 1.5-inch cubes, trimming off excess fat.
Peel and dice the onion. Peel and slice the carrots into 1/2-inch rounds. Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Slice the celery stalks. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Lightly dredge the beef cubes in the flour and sear them in batches until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Transfer the browned beef to the crock pot.
Layer the onion, carrots, potatoes, and celery over the beef in the crock pot.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth, tomato paste, worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the broth mixture over the meat and vegetables in the crock pot.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the frozen peas and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Cover and let cook for the remaining time.
Serve the beef stew hot with crusty bread or over rice for a complete meal.
