Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Beef stew meat
- 3 medium Carrots, peeled and diced
- 2 Celery stalks, diced
- 2 large Russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 1 cup Frozen green beans
- 14.5 ounces Canned diced tomatoes (with juice)
- 4 cups Beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 3 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for browning beef)
Instructions
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef stew meat, season lightly with salt and pepper, and brown for 2-3 minutes on each side. This step is optional but adds depth of flavor.
Transfer the browned beef to a 6-quart crockpot.
Add the diced carrots, celery, potatoes, onion, and frozen green beans to the crockpot.
Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juice), beef broth, and tomato paste. Stir gently to combine.
Add the minced garlic, dried thyme, dried parsley, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well.
Cover the crockpot with its lid and set it to cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 4 hours. Resist the urge to lift the lid while cooking to avoid releasing heat.
After the cooking time is complete, taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers, and enjoy!
