Ingredients

  • 2-3 lbs chuck roast, cut into 2-inch cubes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¼ cup gluten-free flour
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 lb red or yellow potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-size pieces
  • 4 large carrots, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 3 celery ribs, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 4 cups beef broth, gluten-free
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, gluten-free
  • ½ teaspoon thyme
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the beef: Cut the chuck roast into 2-inch pieces. Set aside.
  2. Coat the beef: In a medium bowl, mix together the gluten-free flour, salt, and pepper. Toss the beef pieces in the flour mixture until well coated.
  3. Brown the beef: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. In batches, add the beef to the skillet in a single layer. Brown each piece for 2-3 minutes on all sides. Transfer the browned beef to a 6-quart slow cooker.
  4. Sauté the aromatics: Reduce the heat to medium and add the diced onion to the skillet. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently until softened. Add the crushed garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add the onion and garlic to the slow cooker, along with any brown bits from the skillet.
  5. Add the vegetables: Layer the cut potatoes, carrots, and celery on top of the beef in the slow cooker.
  6. Add the broth and seasoning: Pour in the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, bay leaves, additional salt, and pepper. Gently stir to combine.
  7. Cook: Cover and set the slow cooker to cook on high for 4-5 hours or low for 8-9 hours, until the beef is tender.
  8. Finish the stew: Remove the bay leaves. Stir in the frozen peas. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water until smooth, then stir into the stew to thicken the broth. Cover and cook for another 15 minutes.
