A hearty and comforting crockpot beef stew made with tender beef chuck, wholesome vegetables, and a rich savory broth that slowly simmers to perfection.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into cubes
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 3 medium potatoes, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup frozen peas

Instructions

  1. Toss beef cubes with flour, salt, black pepper, thyme, and rosemary until evenly coated.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and brown the beef on all sides. Transfer to the crockpot.
  3. Add carrots, potatoes, celery, onion, and garlic to the crockpot.
  4. In a small bowl, mix beef broth, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour over the ingredients.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 7–8 hours or on high for 4–5 hours, until beef is fork-tender.
  6. Stir in frozen peas during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed before serving warm.

Notes

  • Add mushrooms or parsnips for additional depth of flavor.
  • For a thicker stew, stir in a cornstarch slurry during the last 30 minutes.
  • Add a splash of balsamic vinegar at the end for extra richness.
  • Serve over mashed potatoes or with crusty bread.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
