Ingredients
- 2-3 pounds chuck roast or beef stewing meat trimmed and cut into 2-3 inch cubes
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1 yellow onion peeled and chopped
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup red wine or use beef broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 4 cups beef broth low-sodium, more if needed
- 4 medium carrots peeled and cut into 1/4-inch chunks
- 1 cup celery diced
- 1 pound mini red potatoes peeled and cut into halves
- 8 ounces baby Bella mushrooms cleaned stem removed and cap cut into halves
- 3 bay leaves
- 6 sprigs fresh thyme tied together
- 3 sprigs fresh rosemary
Cornstarch Mix:
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 4 tablespoons water
Garnish:
- chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Place beef chunks into a large bowl, sprinkle with flour, salt, and black pepper. Use kitchen tongs to toss and coat the beef in flour.
- Place a non-stick skillet, over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of oil. Once the oil is hot, add the beef into one layer, work in batches if needed. Brown, on all sides, for about 5 minutes per batch. Once done cooking, transfer it to the slow cooker.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter, once melted add onion and garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the wine to deglaze the skillet. Transfer the mixture to the slow cooker on top of the meat.
- Add Worcestershire sauce and tomato paste.
- Add carrots, celery, potatoes, and mushrooms (if using).
- Pour beef broth on top.
- Add bay leaves, thyme, and rosemary. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 7-8 hours.
- Taste and adjust for salt and pepper.
- If you prefer the stew to be thicker, either mash some of the potatoes or add the cornstarch mix.
- Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl until fully combined. Add the mixture to the pot during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve.
