Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef stew meat
- 4 medium yellow potatoes
- 4 large carrots
- 3 units celery stalks
- 1 large onion
- 3 units garlic cloves
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 units bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Toss the beef stew meat with the flour, ensuring all pieces are lightly coated.
Brown the beef in the skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, working in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Peel and chop the potatoes and carrots into bite-sized pieces. Slice the celery and dice the onion.
Mince the garlic cloves.
Place the browned beef in the slow cooker, followed by the potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic.
In a mixing bowl, combine the beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Pour the mixture over the ingredients in the slow cooker.
Add the bay leaves on top.
Set the slow cooker to low heat and cook for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are fully cooked.
About 30 minutes before the stew is done, stir in the frozen peas.
Remove the bay leaves and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
