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.

SLOW COOKER HEARTY BEEF STEW
I've never been a big fan of beef stew, but I really enjoy this recipe that I got from Cook's Country. The meat comes out fork-tender, the broth is rich and just thick enough to coat a spoon, and the vegetables are perfectly cooked. This way of preparing beef stew keeps the vegetables from turning to mush by steaming them on top of the stew in a "hobo pack". The stew is thickened without giving it a starchy texture by using Minute Tapioca. Also, you get a big beefy flavor by slipping in a few tablespoons of soy sauce. It takes a little more prep time, but you can do most of the prep for this recipe the night before the ingredients go into the slow cooker. I think the extra time preparing it is worth it! Just prepare the recipe through step 7 and refrigerate the browned beef and onion mixture in separate containers. In the morning, just transfer everything to the slow cooker and proceed with step 8. The cooking time will run to the high end of the ranges given in the recipe. If you're going to be away from your slow cooker for more than 10 hours, cutting the vegetables into larger, 1 1/2- to 2-inch pieces will help them retain their texture.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef. Chuck roast, rump roast, and brisket are all good choices for this stew. They are tough cuts of meat that will become tender when cooked slowly in the crock pot.
- Brown the beef before adding it to the crock pot. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the meat from becoming dry.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your stew. Carrots, potatoes, onions, and celery are all classic choices, but you can also add other vegetables like green beans, corn, or peas.
- Season the stew well. Salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder are all good starting points. You can also add other spices like paprika, cumin, or chili powder.
- Cook the stew on low for at least 8 hours. This will allow the meat and vegetables to become tender and the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the stew with a side of crusty bread or rice. This will help to soak up the delicious juices.
Conclusion:
Crock Pot Hobo Beef Stew is a hearty and flavorful stew that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious stew that the whole family will enjoy.
