Step-by-Step Instructions for Crockpot Beef Stew
  1. Begin by patting the beef chuck roast chunks dry with paper towels. Dredge each piece in flour, shaking off the excess.
  2. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sear the floured beef chunks for 2-3 minutes per side until golden-brown.
  3. Transfer the browned beef into your slow cooker, capturing every bit of flavor from the skillet.
  4. Pour beef broth into the hot skillet, scraping up browned bits. Pour the broth over the beef in the cooker.
  5. Layer the potatoes, carrots, onion, and garlic over the beef evenly.
  6. In a bowl, whisk together the remaining broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Pour it over the layered ingredients.
  7. Cover and set the slow cooker to cook on LOW for 7-8 hours or on HIGH for 4 hours.
  8. About 30 minutes before serving, mix cornstarch with cold water to create a slurry. Stir into the slow cooker along with peas.
  9. Cover and cook for an additional 30 minutes, then sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
