Ingredients:
2 lbs beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch chunks
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups low-sodium beef broth
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp dried thyme
1 tsp smoked paprika
2 bay leaves
8 oz baby bella mushrooms, sliced
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Coat the Beef: In a bowl, toss stew meat with flour, salt, and pepper until fully coated.
2. Sear for Flavor: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches, about 3-4 minutes per batch, then transfer to your slow cooker.
3. Build the Base: In the same skillet, sauté onion until soft (3-4 min). Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Deglaze with 1/2 cup beef broth, scraping browned bits. Pour into the slow cooker.
4. Add Flavor Boosters: Add remaining beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, smoked paprika, bay leaves, and mushrooms. Stir gently to combine.
5. Let it Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 7–8 hours or HIGH for 4–5 hours, until beef is fork-tender.
6. Finish It Off: Stir in heavy cream 15 minutes before serving. Remove bay leaves.
7. Serve & Enjoy: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice for the ultimate comfort meal!
