-
Serving Size :
2 cups
Ingredients
-
1 pound bottom round beef roast -
1 large Russet potato -
1/4 cup flour -
1 medium sweet potato -
2 cups carrots -
1 package pearl onions -
1 can tomatoes -

1 cup water -
3/4 teaspoon thyme -
1/2 teaspoon pepper -
1 package peas -
2 tablespoons parsley
Directions
Tip: Click on step to mark as complete.
-
Add the beef, potato, and flour to a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker, stirring well to combine. -
Add the sweet potato and carrots to the slow cooker. Top with the onions, tomatoes, broth, water, thyme, and pepper. -
Cook, covered, on low heat for 10 to 12 hours or high heat for 5 to 6 hours. Quickly stir in the peas and parsley. Re-cover the slow cooker. Cook for 5 to 10 minutes.
Cooking Tip: When using your slow cooker, make sure the food that takes the longest time to cook, such as the beef, potatoes, and carrots in this recipe, are on the bottom, which is closest to the heat source.
Keep it Healthy: If you can't find bottom round beef roast for this beef stew, go for another lean cut of beef like bottom eye roast or top round. You can also use stew meat, but be sure it's lean.
Tip: To save time in the morning, do some of the prep work the evening before, such as cutting up the beef and carrots. Wait to chop the potato until right before adding it to the slow cooker; it will discolor if cut in advance.
