A hearty Slow Cooker Beef Stew that warms your soul with tender beef and vibrant vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef chuck (cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • 4 cups beef broth (homemade or low-sodium recommended)
  • 4 medium carrots (sliced)
  • 3 potatoes (diced, preferably Yukon Gold or Russets)
  • 1 onion (chopped)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 cup red wine (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for browning the beef)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the beef cubes in batches for about 3-4 minutes until they’re nicely seared on all sides.
  2. In your slow cooker, mix together the browned beef, sliced carrots, diced potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, tomato paste, thyme, salt, and pepper. If you like, add the red wine for extra richness.
  3. Carefully pour the beef broth over the mixture, ensuring all ingredients are submerged.
  4. Cover the slow cooker and set it to low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. Stir occasionally if you can.
  5. Once cooked, ladle the stew into bowls and serve hot.
