BEEF STEW  

INGREDIENTS

• 1 medium white onion, diced
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2 1/2 cups beef stock
• 1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, halved or quartered
• 2 bay leaves
• 2–3 tablespoons cornstarch (plus 2–3 tablespoons cold water)
• 1 1/2 pounds chuck roast, cut into bite-sized pieces
• sea salt and freshly-cracked black pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 2 large carrots, diced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Sear the steak (optional). Season the steak evenly with salt and pepper.  Heat the butter in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat.  Add the steak in a single even layer — working in batches if needed — and cook the steak briefly on all sides until seared.  (This step is optional if you would like to save time.)
2. Stir together ingredients. Add the steak, beef stock, potatoes, mushrooms, onion, celery, carrots, tomato paste, Worcestershire and bay leaves to the bowl of a large slow cooker.  Toss briefly to combine.
3. Cook. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 7-8 hours, until the steak and veggies are tender.  
4. Remove and discard the bay leaves.
5. Add thickener (optional). In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water until combined.
6. Add the mixture to the still-simmering gravy a few tablespoons at a time, until it reaches your desired level of thickness.
7. Taste, season and serve. Add salt and pepper to taste.  Serve warm.
8. .Enjoy!
