Chunky Beef Stew

July 20, 2013

I would consider this tomato-based stew a comfort food. Even though it was mid-summer, a nice stew sounded so good. Another bonus is that this is a slow cooker recipe, so no need to have a hot pot of bubbling stew on the stove. You can make it earlier on in the day or cook from frozen like we did in our 40 Slow Cooker Meals in 4 hours post.

1 lb stewing beef
2 T olive oil
4 c beef stock
1 c chopped onion
1 c chopped celery
3 peeled and chopped carrots
2 white potatoes
1 28oz can diced tomatoes
½ t rosemary
½ t thyme

Brown the beef and vegetables in a pot with some olive oil before tossing into the slow cooker Add the rest of the ingredients and cook on low for 6 hours or until meat is tender Season to taste and serve
