Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 3 large carrots, sliced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a touch of oil and sear the beef in batches until browned on all sides. Transfer the beef to the slow cooker.
  2. Add the potatoes, carrots, onion, and garlic to the slow cooker, layering them atop the beef.

Notes

For thicker stew, use a cornstarch slurry or flour towards the end of cooking. Fresh herbs like parsley can add a nice finish.
