Ingredients

  • 2 lbs beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 3 carrots, sliced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup beer (for added depth of flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons horseradish (optional for a kick)
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (for thickening, optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef stew meat on all sides until it’s nicely browned. This step adds a depth of flavor that is truly worth it.
  2. Transfer the browned beef to your Crockpot. Add in the onions, garlic, potatoes, and carrots.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the beef broth, beer, Worcestershire sauce, horseradish, thyme, black pepper, and salt. Stir well and pour the mixture over the beef and vegetables in the Crockpot.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours, until the meat is tender and the flavors have melded together.
  5. If you prefer a thicker stew, mix the cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry and stir it into the stew during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
  6. Once done, serve hot and enjoy this hearty meal with crusty bread or over a bed of rice!
