Slow Cooker Beef Stew: Hearty & Delicious!
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Start by preparing your ingredients. Chop the onion, slice the carrots, dice the potatoes, and mince the garlic.
-
In a large skillet, brown the beef stew meat over medium-high heat. This step adds depth of flavor to the stew.
-
Once the beef is browned, transfer it to your slow cooker. Add the chopped onion, sliced carrots, diced potatoes, and minced garlic on top of the beef.
-
Pour the beef broth and diced tomatoes over the vegetables and meat. These will create a flavorful base for your stew.
-
Season the mixture with dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. These herbs will add a wonderful aroma and taste to your stew.
-
Give everything a good stir to ensure the ingredients are well combined.
-
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low heat for 8 hours or on high heat for 4-5 hours. Slow cooking allows the flavors to meld together and the beef to become tender.
-
After the cooking time is up, give the stew a final stir and taste for seasoning. Adjust salt and pepper if needed.
-
Serve the Slow Cooker Beef Stew hot in bowls, and garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Pair it with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
