Method

Step by step

  1. 01

    In a skillet and a little olive oil, brown the stewing beef for additional flavor.

  2. 02

    Combine everything EXCEPT the flour and the tomato paste in a slow cooker; stir to combine.

  3. 03

    Cover. Cook on Low for 8 to 9 hours or on High for 4 to 5, until the beef is tender and the potatoes are fork tender.

  4. 04

    Stir the stew once or twice as it cooks, if possible.

  5. 05

    About 30 minutes before serving, transfer a ladle full of the broth to a small mixing bowl.

  6. 06

    Add the flour and tomato paste and whisk until smooth. Stir the mixture into the stew and cook for the remaining half hour.
