Crockpot Beef Stew is the ultimate comfort food, perfect for chilly days or any time you crave a hearty meal. This rich, flavorful dish features tender beef and vibrant vegetables in a savory broth.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into cubes
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 4 carrots, sliced
  • 3 potatoes, diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the beef cubes to the skillet and brown them on all sides. This step enhances the stew’s flavor. Once browned, transfer the beef to the Crockpot.
  2. Add the vegetables: In the Crockpot, layer in the sliced carrots, diced potatoes, chopped onion, and minced garlic.
  3. Season and add liquid: Sprinkle the dried thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper over the vegetables and beef. Pour in the beef broth.
  4. Slow cook: Cover the Crockpot and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.
  5. Taste and adjust: Before serving, taste the stew and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.

Notes

For best flavor, use high-quality beef. Substitute different vegetables as desired. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.
