Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to throw down this delicious recipe:

2 pounds of beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
4 cups of beef broth
4 medium-sized carrots, sliced
3 potatoes, diced
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons of tomato paste
1 teaspoon of dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon of olive oil (for searing)

Instructions

Now that you got your ingredients, let’s get to the fun part – cooking!

First things first, heat that olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. You want to sear the beef cubes until they’re brown on all sides. This step adds a ton of flavor, so don’t skip it!
Once the beef is browned, transfer it to your crock pot. Add in the carrots, potatoes, onion, and garlic on top of the meat.
In a separate bowl, mix together the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour this delicious mixture over everything in the crock pot.
Stir it all together to ensure the flavor gets distributed nicely.
Set your crock pot to low and let it cook for about 7-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours. The longer you let it simmer, the more tender the beef will be.
Once it’s done, give it a taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. You can add more salt, pepper, or even some more Worcestershire sauce if you like it extra zesty!

And there you have it! A warm, hearty beef stew that’s perfect for those family dinners or when you just wanna treat yourself. Serve it up with some crusty bread, and you’re all set. Enjoy every bite, and don’t forget to share with your loved ones – if you want to!
