Dinner Tonight: November 3, 2022 Slow Cooker Beef Stew

Slow Cooker Beef Stew

Fun

One person closes his eyes and tries to remember details asked by the others at the table: Color of the walls? What shirt is Dad wearing?

Conversation

What would the title of your autobiography be?

This slow cooker beef stew recipe comes from Dr. Kristin Saxena, pediatrician and host of the Feeding the Family podcast. It’s a great way to get a hearty meal ready for hungry kids, and perfect for those nights when the family might need to eat in “shifts” or have a limited window to sit and eat together. You can also make this stew on a weekend and freeze it for later use!

Ingredients

Serves 6-8

  • 2 lbs. stew beef, in bite-sized cubes
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 cup red wine
  • 1 1/2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 waxy potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch coins
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes with juice
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • black pepper

Instructions

  1. Place the beef and flour in a bag (a zip-top bag works great for this) and shake to coat.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large pot. Add the meat and brown on all sides, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Place the browned meat in the slow cooker.
  4. Pour the wine and broth into the pot you used to cook the meat. Cook for a minute or two, stirring and scraping the browned bits off the bottom of the pot with a spoon. Pour the liquid into the slow cooker.
  5. Add the remaining ingredients to the slow cooker, stir, and cover. Cook on low for 6-8 hours until the meat and vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded.
