A hearty and comforting crockpot beef stew made with tender beef, vegetables, and a rich, slow-cooked broth that’s perfect for cozy family meals.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs beef chuck, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and brown the beef on all sides.
  2. Transfer the beef to the crockpot.
  3. Add potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic to the crockpot.
  4. Stir in tomato paste, flour, salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme.
  5. Pour in the beef broth and add the bay leaf.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4–5 hours, until beef is tender and stew is thickened.
  7. Remove bay leaf before serving.

Notes

  • Browning the beef adds extra flavor but can be skipped.
  • Add peas or green beans in the last 30 minutes for variation.
  • Mash some potatoes at the end for a thicker stew.
  • Tastes even better the next day.
