Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef stew meat
- 4 medium carrots, peeled and chopped into chunks
- 5 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 3 stalks celery, chopped
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 0.25 cup flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup frozen peas
Instructions
In a large bowl, toss the beef stew meat in the flour until evenly coated.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef in batches until browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the seared beef to the crockpot.
Add the carrots, potatoes, celery, onion, and garlic over the beef in the crockpot.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, thyme, and rosemary. Pour the mixture over the meat and vegetables in the crockpot.
Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
About 30 minutes before the cooking time ends, stir in the frozen peas.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if needed.
Serve the stew hot with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes, if desired.
