Instructions

Step 1: Gather Ingredients

Gather all ingredients: beef chuck, olive oil, salt, pepper, beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, thyme, garlic, yellow onion, carrots, Yukon Gold potatoes, flour and frozen peas. This will make cooking easier.

Step 2: Beef

Cut beef into cubes and season with salt and pepper before slow cooking.

Step 3: Sear Beef

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high. Brown beef in batches to trap juices and add depth of flavor.

Step 4: Veggies

While searing beef, chop carrots and potatoes, dice onion and mince garlic for even cooking.

Step 5: Assemble Stew

Put seared beef in the slow cooker. Add veggies, garlic and onion.

Step 6: Flavor Base

Mix broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar and thyme. Pour over beef and veggies, stir gently.

Step 7: Thicken

Sprinkle flour in the slow cooker and stir until dissolved.

Step 8: Cook

Cook on low 7-8 hours until beef is tender and veggies are soft and flavors are melded.

Step 9: Finish

30 minutes before serving add frozen peas for color and sweetness.
