Ingredients
- 2 pounds of succulent beef stew meat, chopped into bite-sized 1-inch cubes
- A sprinkle of all-purpose flour, approximately ¼ cup
- A dash of salt and ground black pepper, around ½ teaspoon each
- 1 ½ cups of rich beef broth to provide a flavor base
- 4 medium-sized carrots, cut into delightful slices
- 3 wholesome potatoes, diced to perfection
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped for a flavor burst
- 1 crisp stalk of celery, neatly chopped
- 1 teaspoon of savory Worcestershire sauce
- A hint of ground paprika, around 1 teaspoon
- 1 clove of garlic, minced to unlock its potent flavor
- 1 large, aromatic bay leaf
Instructions
Begin by positioning the succulent pieces of beef stew meat within your slow cooker, ready for transformation into a culinary masterpiece.
In a separate, smaller dish, skillfully blend the all-purpose flour, salt, and black pepper. Distribute this dry mixture over the beef, and stir carefully, ensuring each piece is lightly coated, preparing it for the infusion of flavors to come.
It’s time to introduce the aromatic symphony of ingredients. Incorporate the beef broth, sliced carrots, diced potatoes, chopped onion, and celery into the slow cooker. This vibrant mix is now starting to resemble the hearty stew of your dreams.
Enhance this beautiful concoction with the addition of Worcestershire sauce, paprika, minced garlic, and a bay leaf. Stir this amalgamation gently to ensure all ingredients intermingle and start their magic.
Once you’ve completed the above steps, place the lid onto the slow cooker, ready for the slow and steady cooking process. Allow the stew to simmer until the beef is so tender that it can be effortlessly cut with a spoon. If you’re not in a rush, set the cooker to Low, letting it do its job for 8 to 12 hours. If you’re slightly more pressed for time, choose the High setting for a quicker cook within 4 to 6 hours.
After these simple steps, your mouth-watering slow cooker beef stew is ready, serving as a perfect comfort food for a chilly November afternoon. Enjoy this hearty dish that not only warms your stomach but also your soul.
