This is one of my recipe's that I use what I have. I have changed it up with different veggies, but same base. I love the little pearl onions, they are a bit tedious to prepare, but worth it to me. I make this in my 8 quart crock pot. It could be done in the oven..but I like how tender the crock pot makes the meat.. I doubled the batch, but the recipe I'm posting is a single batch and would work in a 4 quart crock pot. This is such a hearty and comforting stew, and did I say delicious? Enjoy! My pictures

How To Make beef stew by cass

Step 1

With a sharp knife; cut the fat from the beef. Cut into 2- 2 1/2 inch chunks it whatever size you prefer. In a large bowl, I place the beef, add the 2 tablespoons of worchester sauce, and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Add the garlic powder, stir and refrigerate over night. You can skip this step. I just like to marinate it.

Step 2

In 2 - 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil, brown the meat with the garlic. Set aside
Step 3

Spray crock pot with cooking spray. Peel and chunk your potatoes and add to the bottom of the pot. Next comes the carrots,onion, green beans.
Step 4

Ps..A tip for preparing the pearl onion. Place them in a pan of boiling water for 3 - 4 minutes, drain..cut off the root end and squeeze gently with your fingers, they will pop right out of their outer skin.
Step 5

Next, add the browned meat, garlic and juices.
Step 6

In a small bowl; combine soy sauce, pepper, paprika, rosemary, thyme and flour; pour over the meat. If you want salt, keep in mind there is a lot of sodium in the soy sauce. I didn't add any...it is plenty salty without.
Step 7

Lastly, in a small bowl mix the beef broth and tomato sauce and pour over the top; add the bay leaves.
Step 8

I just about forgot my mushrooms...I put them in last. Cover and cook on high for 4 - 5 hours. Or low 7 - 8 hours, or until meat and vegetables are tender.
Step 9

Enjoy with a piece of crusty bread, or perhaps a salad.
