Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 pound potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 4 carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 2 celery stalks, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Pat the beef cubes dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Toss the beef with flour until evenly coated.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the browned beef to your slow cooker.
  3. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Transfer the onion and garlic to the slow cooker.
  4. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Stir in thyme and rosemary.
  5. Add the potatoes, carrots, and celery to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours, until the beef and vegetables are tender.
  7. Before serving, stir the stew. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For a thicker stew, you can mix 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir it into the stew during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  • You can add other vegetables like peas or mushrooms during the last hour of cooking.
