• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Dice the potatoes, carrots, celery, and onion into bite-sized pieces and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef stew meat and sear until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Pour the mixture over the beef and vegetables in the crock pot.

Step 6

Cover the crock pot with the lid and cook on low heat for 7 hours or high heat for 4 hours, until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water to form a slurry. Add the slurry to the crock pot during the last 30 minutes of cooking to thicken the stew.

Give the stew a good stir before serving. Ladle into bowls and enjoy your delicious Crock Pot Hobo Beef Stew!
