Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 lbs stew meat cubed into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 pound baby Yukon potatoes quartered
  • 5 carrots cut into ½-inch slices
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 bay leaves
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season cubed beef with salt and pepper and cook until browned, about 3 minutes.
  • Place browned beef, potatoes, carrots, onion, and garlic into a 6-qt slow cooker. In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire, thyme, and paprika. Pour into the slow cooker and stir. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Cover and cook on low heat for 7-8 hours or high heat for 3-4 hours.
  • 30 minutes before the stew is finished cooking, whisk together the flour and ½ cup of the stewing broth. Add the thickening sauce and the frozen peas to the slow cooker and stir. Replace the lid and let cook another 30 minutes until the stew has thickened.
