• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

Peel and chop the carrots and potatoes into bite-sized chunks.

Step 2

Chop the onion into small pieces and mince the garlic.

Step 3

In a skillet over medium heat, sear the beef stew meat until browned on all sides. This step is optional but enhances the flavor.

Step 4

Place the beef, carrots, potatoes, onion, and garlic into the crock pot.

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

Add the bay leaf to the pot.

Step 7

Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the meat is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
