Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Beef stew meat (cubes)
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 1 medium, diced Onion
- 3 medium, sliced Carrots
- 3 medium, diced Potatoes
- 3 cloves Minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the beef cubes on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per batch. Transfer the browned beef cubes to the Crock Pot.
In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Add them to the Crock Pot.
Add the carrots, potatoes, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, tomato paste, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme to the Crock Pot.
Stir the ingredients gently to combine.
Cover the Crock Pot with its lid and cook on LOW for 7 hours or HIGH for 4 hours, until the beef is tender and the vegetables are fully cooked.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water together to form a slurry. Add this to the Crock Pot, stirring well to thicken the sauce. Let cook for an additional 20-30 minutes on HIGH.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot as a standalone meal or over rice or mashed potatoes.
