Ingredients

• 1 lb Beef stew meat (lean, trimmed)
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion (chopped)
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 3 medium Carrots (sliced into rounds)
• 2 stalks Celery stalks (sliced)
• 14.5 oz Tomatoes (diced, canned, no salt added)
• 2 cups Beef broth (low-sodium)
• 0.5 cup Dry red wine
• 1 tsp Dried thyme
• 0.5 tsp Dried rosemary
• 1 leaf Bay leaf
• 1 lb Baby potatoes (halved)
• 1 cup Green beans (trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces)
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Season the beef stew meat with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef in batches until browned on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per batch. Transfer the browned meat to the slow cooker.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute. Transfer the mixture to the slow cooker.

Step 4

Add the sliced carrots, celery, diced tomatoes, beef broth, red wine, dried thyme, dried rosemary, and bay leaf to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Cover and cook on low heat for 6 hours.

Step 6

After 6 hours, add the halved baby potatoes to the slow cooker. Stir gently and continue cooking on low for an additional 2 hours.

Step 7

30 minutes before serving, add the green beans to the slow cooker and gently stir. Continue cooking until the beans are tender but still vibrant.

Step 8

Remove the bay leaf before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning with the remaining salt and black pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Serve the stew hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy!
