Instructions

1

Pat 2 lbs cut into 1-inch cubes beef chuck roast dry and season generously with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper.
2

Heat 2 tbsp avocado oil in a large skillet over high heat. Sear beef in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until deeply browned. Do not crowd the pan. Transfer browned beef to the slow cooker.
3

In the same skillet, saute 1 roughly chopped yellow onion and 4 minced garlic cloves over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until softened. Stir in 2 tbsp tomato paste and cook 1 minute more. Transfer to the slow cooker.
4

Add 4 sliced into rounds carrots, 2 sliced celery stalks, 1 lb cut into 1-inch pieces Yukon Gold potatoes (or red potatoes), 14 oz can canned diced tomatoes (no added sugar), 3 cups compliant beef broth (no sugar or additives), 1 tsp dried thyme, 1/2 tsp dried rosemary, and 2 bay leaves to the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine.
5

Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours (or HIGH for 4-5 hours) until the beef is fork-tender.
6

Remove and discard bay leaves. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
7

Ladle into bowls and garnish with 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley.

Questions

How long does Beef and Vegetable Stew take?

As written, 505 minutes: 25 of prep and 480 of cooking. The longest single stretch is step 5 (overnight, or about 8 hours): "Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours (or HIGH for 4-5 hours) until the beef is fork-tender."

Can I skip the searing in Beef and Vegetable Stew?

Step 2 reads: "Sear beef in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until deeply browned." You can, but you give up flavor. The browning in step 2 builds the savory base the rest of the dish is seasoned against. Give the pieces room so the pan stays hot.

Is Beef and Vegetable Stew gluten-free?

Yes. As written, nothing in the ingredient list for Beef and Vegetable Stew is wheat, barley or rye. Gluten hides in packaged goods, so read the label on the beef broth.

How much protein is in Beef and Vegetable Stew?

One serving (the recipe makes 6) has 22 g of protein in about 380 calories, alongside 32 g carbohydrate and 14 g fat, plus 4 g fiber and 520 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list. More like it: the high-protein soup collection.

Can I make Beef and Vegetable Stew ahead?

Yes, it takes well to being made ahead. Refrigerate Beef and Vegetable Stew for up to four days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water or stock to loosen it. The potatoes turn grainy in the freezer, so this one is better kept in the refrigerator.
