Introduction
An incredibly easy, dump-and-go slow cooker beef stew that doesn't require browning the meat beforehand. The beef chuck roast gets coated in flour to create a rich, savory gravy with potatoes, carrots, celery, and peas, perfect for serving over crusty French bread.
Step 1
Place the cut beef chuck roast chunks in a large bowl. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, cracked black pepper, and dried thyme, mixing thoroughly with clean hands after adding each seasoning.
Step 2
Sprinkle all-purpose flour over the seasoned beef and toss to coat every piece evenly. This will help thicken the stew's gravy as it cooks.
Step 3
Transfer the coated beef into a 6-quart crockpot. Add the chopped celery, minced garlic, and sprinkle the envelope of beefy onion soup dry mix evenly over the meat.
Step 4
Layer the chopped potatoes and carrots on top. Add one dried bay leaf, then cover the crockpot with the lid and set it to cook on High.
Step 5
After 3 hours of cooking, carefully open the lid and stir the ingredients to combine them. You will notice a lot of liquid has rendered. Cover and continue cooking.

Important Notes
Do not add any external liquids (water or broth) to the crockpot. The beef and vegetables will render plenty of natural juices during the slow cooking process.
Coating the meat in flour is essential as it acts as a thickener, turning the rendered juices into a rich gravy.
Avoid lifting the crockpot lid too often, as it releases heat and increases the overall cooking time.
Rinsing the frozen peas before adding them helps prevent them from cooling down the stew too much and keeps them vibrant green.
