Ingredients

  • 2 pounds cubed beef stew meat
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon back pepper
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 5 large potatoes diced (peeling is optional - I don't!)
  • 4 carrots peeled and chopped
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 1 stalk celery chopped
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 bay leaf

Instructions

  • Place beef in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Add flour, salt and pepper into the slow cooker, tossing meat to completely coat in flour mixture.
  • Add broth, potatoes, carrots, onion, celery, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, minced garlic and bay leaf to slow cooker, stirring to combine.
  • Close lid and cook on HIGH 5-6 hours, or LOW for 8-12 hours. You want to cook until the beef is fully cooked and tender, easily sliced with a fork. Serve and enjoy!
