Slow Cooker (crockpot) Beef Stew Recipe that's rich, healthy, flavor packed comfort food cooked to tender perfection.
Peel and slice the red onion, halve the potatoes, and peel and slice the carrots into chunks.
Sprinkle the salt evenly over the beef.
Brown the beef chunks in batches in a skillet with a little olive oil
Add the red onion, carrots and potatoes to the slow cooker then add the browned beef chunks on top.
Mix together the tomato sauce, tomato paste, potato starch, gluten free beef broth, garlic, Worcestershire sauce then pour over the beef and vegetables.
Tuck in a couple of sprigs of fresh rosemary and thyme into the beef stew and put the lid on.
Cook in a slow cooker on LOW for 6- 9 hours or HIGH for 4-7 hours. Check to see if the stew is cooked after 4hrs.
Stir in the frozen peas at the end and let them warm through for a couple of minutes before serving.
Servings - makes 4-6 generous servings.
Cut of Beef - I prefer to use chuck roast and cut it up myself as that cooks nice and tender. You can use ready cut stew meat from the grocery store but the quality can be hit or miss and sometimes it's tough no matter how long you cook it.
Potato starch - you can use corn starch if you prefer.
