Slow Cooker Beef Stew
It’s a very cold yucky day here in Cincinnati and this Slow Cooker Beef Stew recipe was great for warming us up. There is nothing better than slow cooked beef stew in the winter time. You will find this Crock-Pot dinner full of flavor. All the onions, carrots, potatoes are filled with beef flavor after being in the Crock-Pot all day long is just so gosh darn tasty. The beef gets oh so tender from slow cooking.
Since receiving a couple slow cookers for Christmas, we have been cooking Crock-Pot meals most nights. I love that we can toss everything in the slow cooker and let it cook for us. Plus… the cleanup after dinner is a breeze. The list of ingredients looks mighty long for this recipe. Do not let that scare you from making this Beef Stew. Everything is cooking in no time at all.
INGREDIENTS
2 pounds Beef Roast, cubed
1/2 cup Flour
2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Black Pepper
1/2 tsp Thyme
1 tsp minced Garlic
1 Bay Leaves
1 tsp Paprika
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 large Onion, chopped
2 cups Beef Broth
1 lb Potatoes cubed
1 lb Baby Carrots
2 stalks Celery, chopped
2 tbsp Brown Gravy mix
2 cup Water
DIRECTIONS
Place meat in slow cooker.
In a small bowl mix together the flour, salt, and pepper; pour over meat, and stir to coat meat with flour mixture.
Stir in remaining ingredients.
Cover, and cook on Low setting for 10 to 12 hours, or on High setting for 4 to 6 hours.
Remove bay leaf before serving.
This Slow Cooker Beef Stew cooked for hours and the meat was so tender. Letting it cook all day really allows the flavor to inject in the meat and tenderize it. We typically cook our Beef Stew on the stove top. Not anymore ha ha! I think the slow cooker Beef stew recipe is a keeper. We will be making this one all winter long.
The gravy that was produced while cooking is great for dipping some fresh bread. If you follow my recipes you already know that I am a big dipper. Having a fresh loaf of bread with some butter is perfect with this meal.

When do you use the powdered sugar for the heart shaped brownies?
Hi Candy! I am so sorry about that! I just updated the Heart Brownies to reflect where the powdered sugar is added. I let my hubby type my recipes for me sometimes and he must have forgot to add that part in. Hope you have a wonderful Valentine’s Day!
This looks SO amazing! I’m definitely going to try it out. I have a random question though, where did you get that large Blue Willow bowl? I have some small blue willow bowls and I love that one!
Followed this recipe exactly and it was delicious as is with lots of yummy gravy. Will make again!
This was outstanding! Followed the recipe exactly. I thought it was going to be a little potent at first, but the flavors developed wonderfully! A keeper! Thank you so much for the great recipe, or rather, your hubs :)
Has anyone tried it on high for the 4-6 hrs? Sadly I’m not sure my schedule will let me cook it for the full 10-12 on low.
I have tried it for the full 6 on high yes. It is great
Just put this in the Crock-Pot; it smells so good, I can’t wait for it to finish! Thanks!
OMG !!! So delicious and easy ! This was my first time over making beef stew,, came out so good,, guests were impressed ! Thank you !
Do you put the 2 cups of water in before you coat the meat with the flour mixture? Or the dry ingredients first and then the liquids?
This was fantastic! I made it for dinner tonight
and it was a huge hit. It was the best stew I ever
made and everyone loved it. Thank you!
Hi Tina! I am so happy to hear your family enjoyed this Crock-Pot recipe as much as ours does. I think I will make this one again this weekend as we all really like it best too!
Hello I am making the slow cooker beef stew and cant wait for it to be done. I was just wondering will the stew become thick after a while? Right now its thin
Do you put the cubed beef in the crockpot raw?
Love this one! Have made it twice and it was enjoyed by a picky husband, a picky mother-in-law and a toddler with only four teeth :)
hows does the beef stew get thick like in the picture because mine looks like a soup right now it’s very watery
What can I use instead of brown gravy mix? Can I just use cornstarch?
How many does this recipe feed, and are there usually any leftovers? Trying to decide if i should double it for my family of 4 adults.
