Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs beef chuck roast or crock pot stew meat
  • 4 large carrots, sliced
  • 3 potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Optional: 1 cup pearl onions or diced celery

Instructions

  1. Start by trimming excess fat from the beef chuck roast and cutting it into large chunks. Season with salt, pepper, and dried thyme.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the beef on all sides until browned, locking in juices and flavor.
  3. Transfer the browned beef into the crockpot. Add chopped onions, sliced carrots, diced potatoes, minced garlic, and optional vegetables.
  4. Pour in the beef broth and sprinkle dried thyme and rosemary for aromatic seasoning.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, until the beef is fall-apart tender and vegetables are cooked through.
  6. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. For thicker stew, mash some potatoes or stir in a cornstarch slurry.
  7. Serve hot with crusty bread or your favorite side vegetables.

Notes

  • For added flavor, sear the beef beforehand.
  • Thicken the stew by mashing some potatoes or adding a cornstarch slurry.
  • Use different root vegetables like parsnips or turnips for variation.
  • Let the stew sit for a few minutes after cooking for flavors to meld.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; freeze for longer storage.
