Beef stew is a must have during the winter months. And since stews are better the longer they marinate in their own flavors, using the crockpot is the perfect way to make beef stew. Here’s a way to do it.
2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 onion, chopped
3 potatoes, cubed
4 carrots, sliced
1 stalk celery, chopped
Place meat in the slow cooker. Mix the flour, salt, and black pepper in a separate bowl and pour it over the meat in the crockpot. Mix it up with the meat to coat the meat in this flour mixture. Stir in garlic, bay leaf, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, onion, potatoes, carrots, and celery.
Cover and cook on low for 10–12 hours or high for 4–6 hours.
