Flavorful Beef Stew In The Crock Pot Recipes

CROCK POT BEEF STEW FOR TWO PEOPLE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Cut the meat into cubes.
• Coat the stew meat with 3 tablespoons of flour.
• Brown the meat in a skillet with vegetable oil until the meat is quite dark but not burned. The color on the outside will give color to the stew broth as well as add flavor from the browning process.
• Drain the browned meat well.
• Add the meat to slow cooker with the vegetables, spices and enough water to cover the ingredients.
• Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. Don't worry, it can cook longer if your day is longer.
• During the last 30 minutes of cooking, remove the bay leaf and turn the heat setting to high. When the stew is boiling, stir in a mixture of 2 tablespoons of flour and about 1/2 cup of water. Cook until slightly thickened.
• Serve and enjoy!

FLAVORFUL BEEF STEW IN THE CROCK POT

Steps:

• Place potatoes, carrots, and celery in bottom of the slow cooker. Place the stew meat on top of the vegetables. The oil from the meat will help cook the vegetables, and prevent the meat from cooking unevenly. Then pour the rest of the ingredients into the crock pot. Season to taste. I like to use seasoned salt, and celery salt. Set the crock pot to a medium setting and allow 3-5 hours to cook.
