Introduction
An incredibly hearty, comforting, and delicious slow-cooker beef stew that is perfect for a cozy stay-at-home meal. Prepared low and slow, the cheap cuts of beef become melt-in-your-mouth tender alongside chunky root vegetables and a rich, robust broth.
Step 1
Season the cubed chuck roast generously with salt and black pepper, then dredge and coat the meat pieces thoroughly in all-purpose flour.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear the dredged beef in batches, turning them until a nice brown crust forms on all sides, without fully cooking the meat through.
Step 3
Transfer the seared beef pieces into the slow cooker pot.
Step 4
Add the cubed gold potatoes, sliced celery, diagonally sliced carrots, chopped onion, and minced garlic into the slow cooker.
Step 5
Add tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, chopped fresh rosemary, dried thyme, bay leaves, red wine, beef stock, 2 teaspoons of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper to the pot.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Searing the floured beef is optional but highly recommended as it locks in flavors and helps naturally thicken the stew broth during the slow cook.
Yukon Gold or yellow potatoes are preferred; keeping the skins on prevents them from disintegrating over the 8-hour cook.
Red wine can be substituted with an additional cup of beef stock for an alcohol-free alternative.
To save time in the morning, assemble all ingredients in the slow cooker pot the night before, refrigerate, and cook the next morning (extend cook time by 30 minutes if starting cold from the fridge).
