Slow Cooker Beef Stew image

Take the time up front to make a thick gravy and you'll love how rich and delicious it makes this slow-cooked stew. Even though the caraway is optional, we recommend giving it a try- it's a simple way to add something special to a classic.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 8h40m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 teaspoon sweet paprika, plus more for garnish
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for coating
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound small white potatoes, halved
1/2 pound cremini mushrooms, halved
3 medium carrots, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 medium onion, chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup red wine
2 cups low-sodium beef broth
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 teaspoon caraway seeds, optional
1/2 cup loosely packed parsley leaves, chopped
Sour cream, for serving

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.

BEST OF ALL: SLOW COOKER BEEF STEW



Best of All: Slow Cooker Beef Stew image

I have tried many beef stew recipes from this site. This is the one! I took the best from each and got this no-fail version.

Provided by Bobbee Valentine

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Beef Soup Recipes

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef. Chuck roast, rump roast, and brisket are all good choices for beef stew. These cuts are tough, but they become tender when cooked slowly in liquid.
  • Brown the beef before adding it to the crock pot. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the beef from becoming dry.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your stew. This will add flavor, color, and nutrients. Some good choices include carrots, potatoes, celery, onions, and tomatoes.
  • Season the stew to taste. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good starting points. You can also add other herbs and spices, such as thyme, rosemary, or bay leaves.
  • Cook the stew on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours. This will give the beef time to become tender and the flavors to develop.
  • Serve the stew with a side of bread, rice, or potatoes.

Conclusion:

Beef stew is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover beef. With a little planning and preparation, you can easily make a delicious beef stew in your crock pot.
