Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef stew meat
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 cups baby carrots
• 4 medium golden potatoes
• 14 ounces canned artichoke hearts
• 4 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 leaves bay leaves
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons cold water

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef stew meat with salt and pepper on all sides.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef in batches and sear until browned on all sides. Transfer the browned meat to the crock pot.

Step 3

Peel and dice the yellow onion, and mince the garlic cloves. Add both to the crock pot.

Step 4

Wash the baby carrots and scrub the golden potatoes clean. Cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Add the carrots and potatoes to the crock pot.

Step 5

Drain and quarter the artichoke hearts, then add them to the crock pot.

Step 6

In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme. Pour the mixture over the ingredients in the crock pot. Add the bay leaves.

Step 7

Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low heat for 8 hours, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Step 8

Once cooking is complete, remove the bay leaves and discard them.

Step 9

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water until smooth to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the stew to thicken the broth. Let it cook for an additional 10-15 minutes.

Step 10

Serve the stew warm, optionally garnished with fresh parsley or a slice of crusty bread on the side.
