My husband recently discovered this flavor rich, thick, beef stew recipe, and was amazed at how easy it was for him to make. We decided it was definitely a repeat recipe, and wanted to post it here for future reference.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    In a small bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and thyme.

    Place beef in a 5 qt crock pot. Sprinkle with the flour mixture, and toss to coat.
  3. 3
    In the same small bowl used to mix the flour (now empty), combine the beef broth, tomato paste, wine and garlic. Mix well and add it to the beef in the crock pot.

Awesome! Because of this dinner, I have declared myself "the beef stew master"! I used 1/3 c. flour and a 14 oz can of low-sodium beef broth. I also added a 14 oz. can of stewed tomatoes (drained), and I mixed 5 tsp. (about 1 1/2 Tablespoons) of dry onion flakes in with the flour. I used crimini mushrooms, and they were a nice addition. The veggies were perfect and the meat was flavorful and tender and not dry at all after 8 1/2 hours on low. I made Irish Rosie's Irish Soda Bread to serve with this, and it was the best comfort supper I've had in a long time. Thanks so much for posting this recipe!!

    Great and easy recipe! I just made a few substitutions - I omitted the mushrooms and added a can of stewed tomatoes, and a packet of dry onion soup. This recipe provides a great base to tweak to your tastebuds' delight. Thanks!

    This one received RAVE reviews when I cooked it. Perfect for this busy holiday season! I used Freida's dried mushrooms in a combination of Morel, Padi Straw, Wood Ear and Shiitake, but next time I'll just use regular button mushrooms, and increase the thyme to 1 tsp. The meat was incredibly tender, but the veggies still had some body, and didn't completely turn to mush. A recipe to keep & repeat!

    Thanks for the terrific recipe. I mixed some pork with the beef, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. It was so delicious, and it smelled so good cooking that my dog begged by the crockpot all day! My friend brought fresh Italian bread and desert, and we had a terrific meal. I will definitely make this again. Kat
