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
- 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.
- 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.

5 STARS all the way… My previous posting of 3 stars was a mistake… I know I clicked 5 but only 3 showed up when submited
Do I have to use red wine
Tina, I didn’t use any red wine in this recipe.
Hey Corey: Thanks for this recipe. I am making it for the third time today and it has turned out great every time. Usually, I add some other ingredients, but for this recipe, I don’t. It is perfect the way you said. I especially like that you don’t have to dredge the beef in flour and brown it. It has become a family favorite, especially in winter where it is comfort food season.
Cheers!

This is about my 4th time making this stew…LOVE LOVE LOVE it…I have made it in the crockpot as is, but also, when I am in a hurry (i.e..leaving dinner til last minute), I brown the meat and throw it on the stove for about 1.5-2 hours in a large soup pot..often doubling the recipe for leftovers. This is hands down my favourite stew recipe, as I have never found one that I would make more than once!!! Thanks so much…considering throwing in a bit of bourbon tonight as someone stated…but honestly afraid to mess with an already great recipe!! By the way…it’s the tomato paste that makes this stand out from the other recipes 😉
I am so happy you love it Amanda! It has also been one of my go to dinners this winter! Oh! Please let me know how the bourbon turns out if you try it! Thanks sounds yummy 🙂
Making this for dinner since it’s a cold day in Texas today. I added one chopped sweet potatoe just because. Has anyone ever added quartered mushrooms to beef stew? Thinking I might sauté them first but not sure if it will change the flavor in a negative way.
