A comforting and flavorful beef stew made easily in your slow cooker, perfect for a cozy meal.
Coat the beef cubes with the flour in a large bowl.
Ensure the beef is evenly coated for a better sear.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef cubes until browned on all sides.
Searing locks in the juices and adds flavor.
Place the beef, onion, potatoes, carrots, celery, and green beans into the slow cooker.
Layer the vegetables evenly for consistent cooking.
In a bowl, mix the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, garlic, thyme, rosemary, pepper, and bay leaf.
Combine thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.
Pour the broth mixture over the ingredients in the slow cooker.
Ensure the liquid covers the ingredients for proper cooking.
Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until the beef and vegetables are tender.
Avoid opening the lid during cooking to maintain consistent heat.
Remove the bay leaf and serve the stew hot.
Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
