❤️ Why You’ll Love This Slow Cooker Beef Stew

There’s nothing like coming home to the cozy aroma of a hearty slow cooker beef stew simmering away. This one-pot comfort food is loaded with tender beef chunks, carrots, potatoes, and a rich, savory broth — perfect for cold nights, family dinners, or meal prep. Just set it and forget it!

🛒 Ingredients

  • 2 lbs beef chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for searing)
  • 4 carrots, sliced
  • 3 potatoes, diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp dried rosemary
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 cup frozen peas (added at the end)

🔥 Instructions

1. Sear the Beef (Optional, but recommended)

Toss beef with flour, salt, and pepper. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high and brown the beef on all sides (in batches). This step builds flavor.

2. Layer the Ingredients

In your slow cooker, add:

  • Sautéed beef
  • Chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and potatoes
  • Tomato paste, Worcestershire, broth, and herbs
  • Give everything a gentle stir

3. Cook Low and Slow

  • LOW: 8 hours (ideal for the most tender results)
  • HIGH: 4–5 hours

4. Final Touches

About 15 minutes before serving, stir in the frozen peas. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. Remove bay leaves before serving.

🧡 Serving Suggestions

  • Crusty sourdough bread or garlic toast
  • A simple green salad
  • Over mashed potatoes or egg noodles for extra comfort

❓ FAQ
