Fry the onion and celery in 1 tbsp oil over a low warmth until they begin to mellow – around 5 mins. Add the carrots, straight and thyme, fry for 2 minutes, mix in the purée and Worcestershire sauce, add 600ml bubbling water, mix and tip everything into a sluggish cooker.

Disintegrate over the stock solid shapes or add the stock pots and mix, at that point season with pepper (don’t add salt as the stock might be pungent).

Wipe out the griddle and fry the meat in the leftover oil in clumps until it is all around sautéed, at that point tip each group into the lethargic cooker. Cook on low for 8 to 10 hrs, or on high for 4 hours.

Tips for making the best beef stew

Sear your beef the beforehand. This is very important! Browning the beef in the skillet beforehand will bring the out even more flavor.

Cook it on low flame. While many of the slow cooker recipes can be made on the high for 3 to 4 hours, I highly recommend you to cooking this beef stew on the low for the full 7 to 8 hours. This will ensure that the beef will gets nice and tender.

Thicken your stew in proper way. When it is time to add the flour to thicken the beef stew, remove the 1 cup of beef broth from the slow cooker and add it to the bowl.

You’ll then whisk in ¼ cup flour until there aren’t any lumps, add back to the slow cooker and stir to combine. Be sure you don’t add flour straight to the slow cooker as it will become lumpy. (Slow Cooker Beef Stew)

Tips for Storing & Freezing Slow Cooker Beef Stew

To store

Store any leftover crock pot beef stew in the airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days. Simply reheat in the microwave or in the pot on the stovetop.

To Freeze

Let the beef stew cool down completely, transfer it to the freezer-safe container, and the freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, let the slow cooker beef stew thaw into the refrigerator overnight before heating it in the stove top or on the microwave.

Do I Need to Brown the Beef First?

I highly recommend you that you do not skip the browning of the beef as it will add key flavor to your stew. It is worth the work of extra 10 minutes hassle. Same goes with that celery and onions; if you do not sauté them first, then they have a different flavor and texture.

Are There Optional Ingredients?

I know that it seems like a long list of the ingredients, but I do not recommend you omitting any of them. The herbs add the freshness and things like Worcestershire and soy sauce add layers of the flavor. (Slow Cooker Beef Stew)

Do I Have to Use Fresh Herbs?

If needed, you can use dry herbs in the place of fresh but the fresh is best. You can look for the roasting herb blend which should include the rosemary, thyme, and parsley. That way you do not need to purchase them separately.

Can I Cook It on High Heat?

For the best results, I can recommend you to cook on low heat. It makes beef extra tender.

How to Serve Beef Stew

This slow cooker stew recipe is basically a meal in one with the veggies and beef, but for the simple side you cannot go wrong with the fresh bread for dipping. A spinach salad with some fresh pears or apples would be another great option.
