The Ultimate Crockpot Beef Stew (So Easy!)
Print Recipe

Nothing says comfort like a warm bowl of Crockpot Beef Stew. Tender beef, hearty potatoes, and sweet carrots simmer slowly in a rich, savory broth, making this dish the ultimate comfort food. It’s a complete meal on its own, though a slice of crusty bread is perfect for soaking up every last drop of delicious broth.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 lbs beef stew meat, cubed

  • 4 carrots, sliced

  • 4 potatoes, diced

  • 1 onion, chopped

  • 3 cups beef broth

  • 2 tbsp tomato paste

  • 1 tsp thyme

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Add beef, carrots, potatoes, and onion to the Crockpot.

  2. Stir in beef broth, tomato paste, thyme, salt, and pepper until well combined.

  3. Cover and cook on low for 7–8 hours, until beef is tender and vegetables are cooked through.

  4. Serve hot, optionally with crusty bread.

Notes

  • For extra depth of flavor, sear the beef in a skillet for 3–4 minutes per side before adding it to the Crockpot.

  • Add a splash of Worcestershire sauce or a clove of minced garlic for richer flavor.

  • If you prefer a thicker stew, mix 1–2 tablespoons of cornstarch with cold water and stir it in during the last 30 minutes of cooking.

  • Leftovers taste even better the next day, as the flavors continue to meld.
