Slow Cooker Beef Stew

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup flour

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon garlic salt

  • ½ teaspoon celery salt

  • 2 ½ pounds stew meat, see notes

  • 3-6 tablespoons olive oil

  • 3 Tablespoons cold butter, separated

  • 2 cups yellow onion, diced

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup high-quality cabernet sauvignon, merlot works as well. See notes.

  • 4 cups beef broth

  • 2 tsp better than bouillon, or 2 beef bouillon cubes

  • 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce

  • 3 Tablespoons Tomato Paste

  • 5 medium carrots, cut into ¼ inch cubes

  • 1 lb. baby Yukon gold potatoes, halved or quartered

  • 2 bay leaves

  • 1 large branch rosemary

  • 1 cup frozen peas

  • 1/4 cup Cold Water + 3 tablespoons Corn Starch, Optional

  • Cut meat into 1-inch cubes, discard any large pieces of fat. Fat marbleized into the meat is fine!

  • Sprinkle beef with black pepper, garlic salt, and celery salt. Toss to coat. Sprinkle flour over the meat and toss again.

  • Heat 3 Tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meat in batches, don’t overcrowd the pan. Brown on each side for 45 seconds. Add more oil if needed. Transfer to slow cooker.

  • Reduce heat to medium and melt 1 Tablespoon butter. Add onions and cook for 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Use a silicone spatula to clean the bottom of the pan, removing any brown remnants. This will give the soup lots of good flavor. If necessary, add a splash of wine to help loosen it. Transfer the onions/garlic mixture to the slow cooker.

  • Add all remaining ingredients except for the peas, corn starch mixture, and 2 tablespoons of cold butter.

  • Cook on low for 7 ½ to 8 hours or high for 3½ to 4 hours, until the vegetables are softened and the potatoes are fork tender.

  • Add the peas during the last 15 minutes of cooking.

  • Optional: To thicken, combine ¼ cup COLD water with 3 Tablespoons of cornstarch. Slowly add it to the stew, stirring to incorporate. It will continue to thicken upon standing.

  • Turn off the heat. Remove the bay leaves and rosemary stem. Swirl in 2 tablespoons of cold butter for a smooth, velvety finish. This is a technique that chefs use called “Monter au Beurre”.
