There’s nothing like coming home to the smell of a home-cooked meal when you’ve been out all day, running from one activity to another, or just coming in from a long day of apple picking. Our family loves a comforting stew, and this is simple to prepare – just set it and forget it!
Simply Delicious Fall Harvest Slow-Cooker Stew
Ingredients
- 3 tsp Olive Oil
- 1 – 32 f.o. box Beef Broth I used Pacific Brand Organic
- 3 pounds cubed steak
- 4 large carrots, peeled and sliced into rounds Alternately, you can use 1 bag of baby carrots.
- 1.5 pounds potatoes peeled and cut into bite size pieces
- 1 large sweet onion finely chopped
- 3 Bay leaves
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp rosemary
- Sea salt and pepper to taste
- ¼ cup flour can be any GF flour blend you like, or regular flour if you are not avoiding gluten
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in pan. Place beef in pan, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned on all sides, around 5 minutes.
- Place browned beef in crockpot, then add remaining ingredients up to the rosemary, to the slow cooker. Cook on high for 4 hours. Beef will be tender and have a melt-in-your-mouth like consistency.
- After 4 hours, put approximately ½ cup of the liquid from the crock pot, into a measuring cup, and add the flour to the measuring cup. Mix until combined well, then place back into the crock pot and stir. Cook an additional 30 minutes.
