SMALL CROCK POT BEEF STEW

Steps:

• Start by trimming about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds of boneless chuck roast or use stew meat if you are lazy. Give it a light dusting of flour and place in hot oil over medium-high heat in the large nonstick pan. Brown for about 7-8 minutes. Move the meat to the crock pot but keep any liquid in the pan.
• While browning meat, peel 2 carrots and cut into 1/2 inch thick medallions. Scrub 1/2 pound of red or Yukon gold potatoes and cut them into chunks. Other potatoes could be used but if using russet potatoes, peel also.
• Dice 1 medium onion. Crush or mince 2 cloves of garlic. Add onion, 3 oz. of tomato paste, and 1/4 tsp salt into the hot pan. Cook until onions are soft and lightly browned. Add the garlic for the last minute.
• When the onion is ready, add 1 cup of beef broth to the pan and scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Add all ingredients except the peas in the crock pot, stir well. Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours. Add the frozen peas for the last hour of cooking.

SLOW COOKER BEEF STEW

Steps:

• Toss the beef with the paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Coat in flour and shake off any excess. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook undisturbed until it begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Continue to cook, turning the beef as needed, until mostly browned, about 3 minutes more. Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the beef to the insert of a 6-quart slow cooker; add the potatoes, mushrooms, carrots and onions and stir to combine.
• Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the tomato paste and stir until the oil begins to turn brick-red, about 1 minute. Add the flour and wine and whisk until thick (it's OK if there are some lumps). Add the beef broth, thyme, caraway if using, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and bring to a simmer, whisking; continue simmering and whisking until the gravy is smooth and thick, about 4 minutes.
• Pour the gravy into the slow cooker, cover and cook on low for 8 hours. The meat and vegetables should be tender.
• Season with salt and pepper and stir in the parsley. Serve the stew in bowls with dollops of sour cream and a sprinkle of paprika.

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Cut the meat into cubes.
• Coat the stew meat with 3 tablespoons of flour.
• Brown the meat in a skillet with vegetable oil until the meat is quite dark but not burned. The color on the outside will give color to the stew broth as well as add flavor from the browning process.
• Drain the browned meat well.
• Add the meat to slow cooker with the vegetables, spices and enough water to cover the ingredients.
• Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. Don't worry, it can cook longer if your day is longer.
• During the last 30 minutes of cooking, remove the bay leaf and turn the heat setting to high. When the stew is boiling, stir in a mixture of 2 tablespoons of flour and about 1/2 cup of water. Cook until slightly thickened.
• Serve and enjoy!
