Looking for a comforting and hearty meal for those chilly nights? Try this easy and delicious Slow Cooker Beef Stew recipe. It combines tender beef chunks, baby red potatoes, and carrots in a thick, rich sauce for a dish that’s sure to warm you up from the inside.
Begin by layering potatoes, carrots, onion, and celery in a 5-qt. slow cooker. Coat the stew meat with flour and brown it in a skillet with oil. Then, place the meat over the vegetables. Mix tomatoes, beef broth, mustard, salt, pepper, thyme, and optional browning sauce in a bowl, and pour it over the beef.
For an extra flavor boost, melt butter in the skillet, soften onions and garlic, and scrape up the meat remnants. Add a splash of wine if needed before transferring everything to the slow cooker. Add all the remaining ingredients, but hold back the peas, cornstarch, and additional butter for later.
