Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs beef stew meat
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 4 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 stalks celery stalks, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 4 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 leaf bay leaf
- 1 cup frozen peas
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Lightly coat the beef stew meat in the seasoned flour mixture.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the coated beef in batches until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Set aside.
In the crock pot, add the diced onion, carrots, potatoes, celery, and minced garlic.
Add the seared beef on top of the vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together the tomato paste, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Pour this mixture over the beef and vegetables in the crock pot.
Add the bay leaf for additional flavor.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low heat for 8 hours, or on high heat for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
During the last 30 minutes of cooking, stir in the frozen peas.
Remove and discard the bay leaf. Give the stew a taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt or pepper if needed.
Serve the beef stew warm with crusty bread or over rice, if desired.
