Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 4 Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 3 large carrots, sliced
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (ensure alcohol-free/halal)
  • Fresh herbs for garnish

Method
 

  1. Cut the beef into uniform 1-inch cubes.
  2. In a bowl, toss the beef with the flour, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika until coated.
  3. Place the potatoes, carrots, onion, celery, and mushrooms into the base of the slow cooker.
  4. Add the coated beef pieces on top of the vegetables.
  5. Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over the mixture.
  6. Cover and cook on LOW for 7-8 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours.
  7. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.

Notes

Use Yukon Gold potatoes for the best texture as they hold their shape well during the long cooking time. To thicken further, you can mash a few potato pieces against the side of the slow cooker before serving.
