Autumn Crockpot Beef Stew Recipe
This autumn beef stew is seriously yummy. I sorta lost it, or it would have been a good option. That's okay, the one above was great :)
Servings: 4 to 6 servings
Ingredients
- 12 small red potatoes washed and halved
- 1 pound carrots peeled and cut into 3/4 to 1 inch chunks
- 1 large onion cut into wedges
- 2 pounds beef stew meat
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 cup beef broth or stock
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley flakes
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Sprinkle the spices on both sides of the meat
- Place the meat and flour in a baggie, close and shake well
- Heat the butter either in a skillet or in a slow cooker on the saute function and quickly brown the meat (for about 3 minutes on each side)
- Place the veggies then the meat in the crockpot
- Pour the meat and drippings into the crockpot too, scrap the pan if you used a skillet and transfer that as well
- Pour the broth over the top
- Cover and cook on low 8 to 12 hours, high for 4 1/2 to 6
