Ingredients

• 1 pound beef steak, diced
• 0.5 pound beef kidney, diced
• 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 3 medium carrots, sliced
• 2 stalks celery stalks, sliced
• 3 medium potatoes, diced
• 4 cups beef broth
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon thyme, dried
• 1 whole bay leaf
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a shallow mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper. Dredge the diced beef steak and kidney pieces in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil. Once hot, sear the floured beef steak and kidney pieces until browned on all sides. Transfer them to the slow cooker.

Step 3

In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Add them to the slow cooker.

Step 4

Layer the sliced carrots, celery, and diced potatoes on top of the meat in the slow cooker.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and dried thyme. Pour this mixture over the meat and vegetables in the slow cooker.

Step 6

Add the bay leaf to the slow cooker, nestling it into the liquid.

Step 7

Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set it to cook on LOW for 6-8 hours, or HIGH for 4-5 hours, until the beef and kidneys are tender and the vegetables are cooked through.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the bay leaf. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

Step 9

Serve the stew hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. Pair with crusty bread or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
