Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs beef chuck roast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 carrots, sliced
  • 3 potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup red apple vinegar (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for searing

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Trim excess fat from the beef and chop vegetables into uniform pieces. Season the beef generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Sear the beef: In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and sear the beef until browned on all sides for enhanced flavor.
  3. Combine ingredients: Transfer the seared beef to the crockpot and add carrots, potatoes, onion, garlic, tomato paste, herbs, beef broth, and red apple vinegar if using. Stir until well combined.
  4. Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for about 8 hours or on high for 4–5 hours until the beef is fork-tender and vegetables are soft.
  5. Final touches: Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. For a thicker stew, stir in a cornstarch slurry if desired.
