Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs Beef chuck roast cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 lb Russet potatoes peeled and diced
  • 3 large Carrots peeled and sliced
  • 2 stalks Celery chopped
  • 1 large Yellow onion diced
  • 3 cups Beef broth low sodium
  • 2 tbsp Tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 2 tbsp Cornstarch mixed with 2 tbsp water
  • 2 tbsp Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Place the diced potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, and minced garlic into the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Add the beef chuck roast cubes directly on top of the vegetables.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Pour this mixture evenly over the beef and vegetables.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 7 to 8 hours, or on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours, until the beef is remarkably tender.
  • Thirty minutes before the stew is done cooking, whisk the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl to create a slurry. Stir the slurry into the slow cooker to thicken the broth.
  • Cover and cook for the remaining 30 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.
