What could be better than coming home from a long day at work to a warm and welcoming bowl of beef stew? Armed with a crock pot and the following simple instructions, you can learn how to make a delicious crock pot beef stew.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • 5 to 6 quart crock pot
  • 2 lbs. beef stew cubes
  • 1/4 cup white flour
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, chopped
  • 1 cup onion, cut into large chunks
  • 3 sliced carrots
  • 3 russet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 cup dry red wine

Step1
Sprinkle the flour, along with a generous amount of salt and pepper all over the meat cubes. Stir to cover, and drop the meat into the crock pot.
Step2
Add all remaining ingredients, and stir to mix.
Step3
Cover the crock-pot, and cook on low for 10 to 12 hours, or on high for four to six hours.
Step4
Before serving, stir well. If the stew is too liquidy, allow the stew to cook an additional 20 minutes, uncovered, on high.
Step5
Serve alone, or over noodles or rice. This stew is delicious when served with crusty bread and a glass of red wine.

Tips & Warnings

  • Crock pot recipes require less liquid than recipes cooked in an oven or on a stove top. Fight the urge to add more liquid to the recipe.
