Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef stew meat (cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 2 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Yellow onion (diced)
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 3 large Carrots (peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch rounds)
• 2 stalks Celery (sliced)
• 3 medium Russet potatoes (peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 1 14 oz can Crushed tomatoes
• 4 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (chopped, for garnish)
• 2 pieces Bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef stew meat with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef in batches to brown all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the seared beef to the Crock Pot.

Step 3

In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until fragrant and softened, about 2-3 minutes. Add to the Crock Pot.

Step 4

Add the carrots, celery, and potatoes to the Crock Pot along with the frozen peas.

Step 5

Stir in the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, and beef broth. Add the bay leaves, dried thyme, paprika, and the remaining salt and pepper.

Step 6

Gently stir to combine all ingredients. Place the lid on the Crock Pot and set to cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-6 hours.

Step 7

Once the stew is done, remove the bay leaves. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 8

Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley, and enjoy with crusty bread or over rice, if desired.
