Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Beef stew meat (cubed)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Yellow onion (finely chopped)
- 3 medium Carrots (sliced)
- 3 stalks Celery (chopped)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 14.5 ounces Tomatoes (diced)
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 0.5 cup Red wine (optional)
- 1 piece Bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 medium Parsnips (optional, peeled and sliced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the beef stew meat with salt and pepper, then sear in the skillet until browned on all sides. This step locks in flavor.
Transfer the browned beef to the crock pot.
In the same skillet, sauté the onion, carrots, and celery until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
Transfer the sautéed vegetables into the crock pot.
Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices), beef broth, red wine (if using), bay leaf, thyme, rosemary, and parsnips (if desired) to the crock pot.
Stir the ingredients gently to combine. Ensure the beef and vegetables are evenly distributed in the mixture.
Cover the crock pot with a lid and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high heat for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender and the flavors are well combined.
Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Ladle the stew into bowls, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve hot. Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
