Steps:
- Add all ingredients to slow cooker EXCEPT the flour and 1 tablespoon each of the thyme and rosemary. If you prefer firmer vegetables, do not add them until the last 1-2 hours of cooking. You can add them now but they will be softer. Cook on low heat for 8 hours.
- If you left out the vegetables at the beginning, add them in the last 1-2 hours of cooking.
- About 1 hour before stew is done cooking, remove 1/2 cup of broth. Whisk 2 tablespoons of flour into the broth until there are no lumps. You can add more broth if it gets too thick. Once mixed, pour the flour mixture into the crock pot and stir to mix. Continue cooking until done.
- Right before serving, remove the bay leaves. Add the 1 tablespoon of thyme and rosemary. Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed. Serve with crusty bread and enjoy!

Steps:
- Toss the beef with the paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Coat in flour and shake off any excess. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook undisturbed until it begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Continue to cook, turning the beef as needed, until mostly browned, about 3 minutes more. Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the beef to the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker; add the potatoes, mushrooms, carrots and onions and stir to combine.
- Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the tomato paste and stir until the oil begins to turn brick-red, about 1 minute. Add the flour and wine and whisk until thick (it's OK if there are some lumps). Add the beef broth, thyme, caraway if using, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and bring to a simmer, whisking; continue simmering and whisking until the gravy is smooth and thick, about 4 minutes.
- Pour the gravy into the slow cooker, cover and cook on low for 8 hours. The meat and vegetables should be tender.
- Season with salt and pepper and stir in the parsley. Serve the stew in bowls with dollops of sour cream and a sprinkle of paprika.

BEEF IN BEER IN THE SLOW COOKER
Delicious tender beef cooked in the slow cooker with beer, shallots, bacon, and mushrooms. The Guiness® makes a lovely gravy without tasting overly strong of beer. This is quite a meaty dish so would also be nice with potatoes and carrots added. I serve this with crusty French bread to mop up the juices. Hearty and warming to come home to. Cooks in 5 hours in the slow cooker; however it would not hurt it to be cooked all day.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef. Chuck roast or brisket are ideal for stews, as they become tender when cooked slowly in liquid.
- Brown the beef before adding it to the slow cooker. This step helps to develop flavor and prevents the meat from becoming tough.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your stew. This will add flavor and nutrients to the dish.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of beer. The flavor of the beer will impart itself to the stew, so choose one that you enjoy drinking.
- Cook the stew on low heat for 8-10 hours. This will allow the flavors to develop and the beef to become fall-apart tender.
- Serve the stew with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Conclusion:
Crock-pot beef and beer stew is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a little planning, you can have a delicious and comforting stew that the whole family will enjoy.
