Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs beef chuck roast
- 4 medium-sized yellow potatoes
- 4 whole carrots
- 3 whole celery stalks
- 1 large yellow onion
- 3 whole garlic cloves
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 whole bay leaf
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
Cut the beef chuck roast into 1.5-inch cubes. Pat them dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear.
Season the beef cubes with salt and black pepper, then lightly coat them with all-purpose flour.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the beef cubes on all sides, working in batches to avoid overcrowding. Set the browned beef aside.
Peel and cube the yellow potatoes into 1-inch pieces. Peel and slice the carrots into thick rounds. Chop celery into chunks. Dice the yellow onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In the crock pot, add the browned beef, potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic.
In a bowl, whisk together the beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and dried rosemary until well combined. Pour the mixture over the ingredients in the crock pot.
Add the bay leaf to the crock pot. Stir everything gently to combine.
Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours. Stir occasionally if possible.
Once the stew is cooked, remove the bay leaf and give the stew a final stir. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve hot with crusty bread or over rice, and enjoy your hearty, comforting beef stew.
