Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs red potatoes
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 3 carrots
  • 4 stalks celery
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1.5 lbs beef stew meat
  • 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp Freshly cracked black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp cooking oil
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 1.5 tsp brown sugar
  • 1.5 tsp dried rosemary
  • 1.5 tsp dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Chop the onion and red potatoes into chunks and slice the carrots and celery, then finely mince the garlic. Add all these vegetables to a 4 or 5 quart slow cooker.
  2. In a bowl, coat the beef stew meat with flour, salt, and black pepper until evenly covered.
  3. Heat a skillet on medium-high and add cooking oil to coat the pan. Place the floured beef in the skillet and let it brown without stirring, then flip and brown the other side before transferring the meat to the slow cooker.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low, then add beef broth, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, rosemary, and thyme to the skillet. Stir and simmer until all browned bits dissolve.
  5. Pour this liquid mixture over the slow cooker ingredients and stir everything together. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 8 hours.
  6. Once cooked, stir well to slightly break down the potatoes for a thicker gravy. Adjust seasoning with salt or other spices as preferred and serve warm.
