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. I have searched all over for a great recipe for Beef Stew in the crockpot. After reading what all others have said I have now brought the ingredients and will make it tomorrow morning and throw that in the crock. My husband will be home deer hunting later for dinner and I so cannot wait to get busy on this. Thanks so much for sharing.

    1. Wonderful Chris! I hope you love it as much as we do 🙂

  2. 5 stars
    My husband was begging me to make him some soup since he is currently suffering from a diabolical man cold when I came across this recipe. It was a huge hit!! He ate nearly half the pot! I loved it too, especially the part where his mouth was too full to complain about his cold haha. Thank you!!!

  3. I accidentally added the peas and corn with everything else as the first step. How will this affect the stew?

    1. No, you should be fine 🙂

    This recipe is a keeper! Everything came out perfect and the whole family loved it! Thanks!

  5. I put this together this morning before work when I realized there was a pack of 4 eye of round steaks in the back ofntje fridge that were bought on Monday and hadn’t been frozen! I needed to cook them today or throw them out so I decided the slow cooker was the way to go considering I won’t he home until 6ish tonight. I didn’t have the tomato paste or broth but used water and a few of those Knorr beef bouillon cups. I used what I had in my fridge, celery, onion, carrot, rutabaga, potatoes… Garlic, salt, pepper…some spices and the worcestershire…hope it works out! Nothing I lover more than a good beef stew on a cool evening.
