Ingredients

• 2 pounds Beef stew meat
• 4 medium Potatoes
• 4 medium Carrots
• 3 stalks Celery stalks
• 1 large Onion
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves
• 4 cups Beef broth
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 leaf Bay leaf
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly dust the beef stew meat with flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

Sear the beef in the hot skillet until browned on all sides. No need to cook through—just create a golden crust for flavor.

Step 4

Transfer the seared beef to the crock pot and add the potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Add the bay leaf to the crock pot. Stir gently to mix the ingredients while still keeping the veggies evenly distributed.

Step 7

Cover the crock pot with the lid and set to low heat. Let cook for 8 hours without opening or stirring to allow the flavors to develop and the beef to tenderize.

Step 8

After 8 hours, discard the bay leaf. Taste the broth and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot with crusty bread or over rice, if desired.
