Equipment
6 quart Crockpot or Slow Cooker
Ingredients
- 1½ to 2 lbs Beef Stew Meat
- 1 Large Onion - diced
- 3 ribs Celery - diced
- 3 Carrots - sliced
- 1½ cups Russet Potatoes - peeled and cubed
- 3 cloves Fresh Garlic - minced
- 5½ to 6 cups Beef Stock or Vegetable Stock - as needed to cover meat and vegetables
- ¼ cup Dry Red Wine - for marinading beef stew meat
- 1 tbsp Reduced Sodium Soy Sauce - for marinading beef stew meat
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce - for marinading beef stew meat
- Coarse Sea Salt + Cracked Pepper - as needed for seasoning
- 2 to 3 tbsp All Purpose Flour - for thickening stew later on
- 1 package Frozen Peas
- 1 tsp Onion Powder - for marinade
- ½ tsp Garlic Powder - for marinade
- ½ tsp Smoky Paprika - for marinade
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil - for marinade
Instructions
- Place stew meat in large bowl and season with pinches of salt and pepper as desired. Sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. Drizzle with olive oil and splash in red wine, soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Marinade for 3 to 4 hours, if possible.
- Add diced carrot, celery, and onion to the slow cooker and top with half of the minced garlic. Next, add marinaded and seasoned beef meat cubes to the crockpot.
- Top the meat with cubed peeled russet potatoes plus the rest of the minced garlic. Last, splash in stock enough to just barely cover everything. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours.
- When cook time is up, ladle out about a cup or so of the cooking liquid and whisk in 2 to 3 tablespoons of all purpose flour until combined and pour back in. Cook for another 30 to 40 minutes or until lightly thickened then stir in frozen peas. Cook another 5 minutes to heat peas through. Serve hot with crusty bread or serve over mashed potatoes / steamed white rice.
