Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 pounds beef chuck roast (cut in 2-inch cubes)
- 1 tablespoon salt (divided)
- 2 teaspoons black pepper divided
- 3 medium carrot peeled and cut in 2-inch pieces
- 1 large onion (cut in large chunks)
- 12 small potato

- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 6 ounces Irish stout optional, such as Guinness
- 2 cups green peas (fresh or frozen)
Instructions
- Melt butter in deep skillet over medium high heat (or use slow cooker insert if it’s stove-top safe). Sprinkle beef cubes with 2 teaspoons of the salt and 1 teaspoon of the pepper. Sear beef for about 2 minutes per side to form a crust; remove from pan and add into slow cooker.
- To the slow cooker toss in the carrots, onion and potatoes. Sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper as well as the thyme and garlic.
- In a small bowl, whisk together beef broth, tomato paste and Worcestershire sauce then pour into the slow cooker along with the Irish stout if using.
- Heat on Low for 8 Hours of High for 4 Hours. 15 minutes before the stew is done cooking, stir in the peas. Serve warm.

Notes
- While browning your beef beforehand isn’t required, I highly recommend doing so for the increased flavor and tenderness!
