Ingredients
2 lbs beef stew meat
1 medium onion, sliced
8 oz cremini mushrooms, halved
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh thyme (or ½ tsp dried)
1 bay leaf
4 cups beef broth (low-sodium)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp tomato paste
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a skillet and sear beef until browned. Transfer to crockpot. Add onion, mushrooms, garlic, thyme, bay leaf, broth, and tomato paste. Stir in half the parsley (if using). Season with salt and pepper.
Cook on low for 7 hours or high for 4 hours. Remove bay leaf before serving.
Let rest for 10 minutes, then garnish with remaining parsley and serve.
Notes
Mushrooms can be substituted with shiitake or button if needed.
Use a cast-iron skillet for searing to enhance flavor.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Tastes better on day two!
