Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef chuck roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 4 medium carrots, sliced
- 3 stalks celery stalks, chopped
- 1.5 pounds baby potatoes, halved
- 28 ounces crushed tomatoes
- 3 cups beef broth
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 bay leaf
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the beef chuck roast with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, then sear it in the hot skillet until browned on all sides. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the beef to the crock pot.
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Transfer to the crock pot.
Add the sliced carrots, chopped celery, and halved baby potatoes to the crock pot.
Pour the crushed tomatoes, beef broth, and red wine over the ingredients in the crock pot. Stir to combine gently.
Add the tomato paste, Italian seasoning, bay leaf, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir again to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Cover the crock pot and set it to cook on LOW for 8 hours, or on HIGH for 4-5 hours.
Once the stew has finished cooking, discard the bay leaf. Use two forks to shred the beef into chunks or bite-sized pieces, then stir the stew to mix everything together.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
