Time 7h45m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 16

⅓ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon garlic salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 pounds beef for stew, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 ½ cups beef broth
½ cup red wine
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
3 potatoes, diced
4 carrots, sliced
1 stalk celery, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 bay leaves
1 (1.5 ounce) package beef stew seasoning mix (such as McCormick®)
1 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Whisk flour, garlic salt, and black pepper together in a small bowl; pour into a large resealable plastic bag. Place stew beef in bag, seal the bag, and shake to coat beef to coat completely.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat; saute coated beef in hot oil until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Stir onion into beef; saute until onion is softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour beef and onions into a slow cooker.
  • Stir beef broth, red wine, and Worcestershire sauce together in a bowl. Pour broth mixture into the same skillet and bring to a boil while scraping the browned bits of food off of the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Transfer broth mixture to the slow cooker.
  • Mix potatoes, carrots, celery, garlic, bay leaves, beef stew seasoning mix, and paprika into beef mixture.
  • Cook on High for 1 hour. Reduce heat to Low and cook until meat is tender, 6 to 7 hours.
