Slow Cooker Italian Beef and Veggie Stew
Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, or as needed
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, or more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 1/2 pounds cubed beef stew meat
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 (16 ounce) package baby carrots, quartered
  • 1/2 yellow onion, quartered and sliced
  • 4 red potatoes, quartered
  • 2 stalks celery, roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 3/4 cup red wine
  • 1/4 cup beef broth
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
Instructions
1
Combine the dry ingredients - flour, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper - in a spacious, shallow container. Add the beef to this mixture and mix until it's thoroughly coated; remove any remaining dry ingredients from the surface of the beef.
2
Heat a generous amount of oil in a large, deep skillet over an intermediate heat setting. Sear the beef in hot oil, stirring occasionally, until it's evenly browned on all sides, taking anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer the beef to a slow cooker; add carrots, onion, potatoes, celery, and garlic.
3
Blend together the liquid ingredients - red wine, beef broth, tomato paste, and rosemary - in a small container until they're well combined and smooth; pour this mixture over the beef and vegetables.
4
Prepare for a prolonged cooking period on Low until the beef and vegetables are tender, spanning 4 to 6 hours.
