Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds kosher beef stew meat
- 4 medium potatoes
- 4 medium carrots
- 3 celery stalks
- 1 large onion
- 3 garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- 4 cups kosher beef broth
- 0.5 cups dry red wine (optional)
- 0.25 cups all-purpose flour or potato starch
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup frozen peas
Instructions
Cut the kosher beef stew meat into bite-sized cubes if not already pre-cut.
Season the beef cubes with salt and black pepper. Toss them in the all-purpose flour or potato starch until evenly coated.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches, searing each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Transfer the beef to the crock pot.
Peel and chop the potatoes into 1-inch chunks. Slice the carrots and celery into 1/2-inch pieces. Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Add the chopped potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic to the crock pot, layering them over the beef.
In a small bowl, stir together the kosher beef broth, tomato paste, dry red wine (if using), paprika, dried thyme, and bay leaf. Pour the mixture over the beef and vegetables in the crock pot.
Give everything a gentle stir to ensure the liquid reaches the bottom, but do not overmix.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and set it to cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
In the last 20 minutes of cooking, add the frozen peas and stir to combine.
Remove the bay leaf before serving. Taste and adjust seasonings with additional salt or pepper as needed.
Serve the beef stew hot with crusty bread or over a bed of rice if desired. Enjoy!
