The Best Crockpot Beef Stew 

  • 2 pounds beef stew meat, (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 celery ribs, sliced
  • 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 6 oz can tomato paste
  • 32 oz beef broth
  • 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cups baby carrots carrots
  • 4-5 small red potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces (about 3 cups)
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 cups frozen peas
  • 1 cup frozen corn
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup water
  1. Combine beef, celery, carrots, red onion, potatoes, salt,  pepper, garlic, parsley, oregano, Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, and tomato paste in the crock pot. I used a 6 qt crockpot for this stew.  Cook on LOW for 10 hours or on HIGH for 6-7 hours.
  2. About 30 minutes before serving, mix the flour and the water together in a small dish and pour into the crockpot. Mix until well combined. This will add a nice thickness to the stew. Next add in your frozen peas and corn. Continue cooking covered for 30 minutes.

  1. Love this! I used a stock I’d made with onion, garlic, celery, and pepper scraps I made in the crock pot the night before. Added a tiny bit of corn starch to the flour because Mr. Man likes his gravy really thick. It was wonderful!

    Tonight I’m turning the leftovers into shepherd pie!

    Thank You Corey for the recipe, I have never made a stew in my crockpot before so decided to give your recipe a go. I’ve reread the recipe and realised I should of put corn and peas in towards the end, will it still turn out ok?

    1. Yes, you should be fine. The peas just might be a little “mushy”, but not a big deal 🙂
