Crockpot Beef Stew INGREDIENTS 3 lb chuck roast, cut into cubes Salt, pepper, garlic powder 1/2 cup flour 2 tbsp butter 1 cup red wine 1 1/2 cups celery, chopped 2 cups carrots, chopped 1 onion, chopped 2 lb Yukon gold potatoes, chopped into large pieces 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp each pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika 1 tbsp minced garlic 6 oz tomato paste 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 3 cups beef broth 2 bay leaves 1 1/2 cups frozen peas INSTRUCTIONS Start making this recipe, by prepping all of the veggies. Chop an onion. Chop about 1 1/2 cups of celery. Chop about 2 heaping cups of carrots (be sure to keep these in larger bite size pieces). Scrub 2 lbs of Yukon gold potatoes and chop them into larger bite size pieces. Set all the vegetables aside. Cut a roast into large cubes and season with some salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add 1/2 cup of flour to a large container and toss the meat in the flour. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add two tbsp of butter. Once the butter has melted add half of the meat and cook just until browned on all sides. Remove the meat from the skillet and add two more tbsp of butter. Brown the rest of the meat. Remove the meat from the skillet and add 1 cup red wine. Scrape all the browned bits from the skillet and turn the heat off. Spray a large crockpot with cooking spray and add the meat to the crockpot. Pour the red wine over the meat. Add the chopped celery, carrots, and onion. Add the potatoes and season with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika. Next, add one tbsp of minced garlic, 6 oz of tomato paste, 2 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce, and 3 cups of beef broth. Stir as best as you can while still keeping the meat submerged in the liquid. Top with a couple of bay leaves. Cook on low for 8-10 hours. If you are using stew meat I’d definitely shoot for 9-10 hours because it can take longer for stew meat to get tender. Once the meat is tender, add 1 1/2 cups of frozen peas and let them cook in the crockpot for about 15-20 minutes. Serve in bowls with some bread and enjoy! #Recipe #beefstew #crockpot #dinner #mealideas #roast - @cookinginthemidwest
