A childhood friend recently asked me if I had a recipe for beef stew. If you ever had request, please send them my way. I love sharing recipes!
I have always made beef stew in the crock pot. I don't make it often because it's not one of my husband's favorite dishes. Weird, I know.
Beef Stew
What you will need: 2 pounds stew meat cut into 1 inch cubes (you can buy it from the butcher already cut), 1/4 cup flour, 1 1/2 cup beef broth, worcestershire sauce, 1 clove garlic, 2 bay leaves, 3 carrots, 4 potatoes, 1 onion, 2 stalks celery, salt and pepper.
Mix the flour, salt and pepper in a bowl toss meat in it. Place meat in the crock and pour the remaining flour mix on top of the meat. Stir it up a bit. Peel and cut potatoes and carrots (I do chunks, but do whatever you like). Cut celery and onion and mince garlic. Put all these in the crock pot. Pour the beef broth and worcesterhsire around the side
Cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4 to 5 hours.
Do you put the beef in the crock raw or cooked? I've always precooked my beef but was wondering if I could skip that step!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
With beef stew I put it in raw. Some crock pot recipes I brown it first, but I don't think it's necessary with this recipe.
