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.

    I have never left any comments about a recipe found on the internet but honestly they often end up either needing much improvement or just are not that good. I felt obligated to let you know that this is the best most flavorful Beef Stew recipe I have ever made. My family ALL said that this was a keeper and loved it. People were fighting for the leftovers! Simple to make and loaded with delicious flavor and tender meat that melted in your mouth. Thank you for giving me my go to final recipe for Beef Stew! I will look no further.

    1. That is so sweet! Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment 🙂 I am so happy you loved the stew!!

    I’m totally not a stew person, but I wanted to make this for my husband. I used Beef Better than Bouillon and added 1 tsp of thyme along with the other spices. We ate this for dinner tonight. MIND. BLOWN. I will never use a different stew recipe. EVER. Thank you!

  4. I want to make a triple recipe, do you think this could be cooked in an electric roaster pan?

    I recently launched a parenting blog, so when I re-designed my Pinterest page to be specific for A Family Meeting Blog, I absent-mindedly deleted this recipe! OH NO!!! This is my FAVORITE beef stew and truly the only one I make. I searched until I found it again and viola… here it is!! I am saving it now and printing and storing it in a safe place so it is never lost again!
    Thank you for this recipe! It is truly fantastic!
