Slow Cooker Beef Stew
Serves 4
Beef stew delivers great flavor for an affordable price at about $2.50 per serving. Alter this recipe's cooking time to suit your needs, using the high-heat setting on your slow cooker to speed things up, if you like. Feel free to stir in other root vegetables like butternut squash or parsnips to make this one-dish dinner even tastier. Serve with hunks of crusty bread on the side.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 (1 pound) boneless beef chuck roast, trimmed of excess fat
2 tablespoons canola or extra virgin olive oil
3 carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
2 Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium onion, cut into wedges
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups reduced-sodium beef broth
3 ounces tomato paste
Method
On a plate, combine flour, salt, pepper and thyme. Dredge meat in flour, coating all sides. Heat oil in a large saucepan and brown meat on both sides, turning once, about 7 minutes total. Meanwhile, place carrots, potatoes, onion and garlic in a 5 or 6-quart slow cooker. Top with browned roast. Pour 2 tablespoons water into the pan you browned the roast in, scrape up any browned bits and add that rich liquid to the slow cooker along with the beef broth and tomato paste. Cover and cook until beef and vegetables are very tender, 8 to 10 hours on the low-heat setting or 4 to 5 hours on the high-heat setting.
