Notes

Recipe tips.

While not required, you can sear the beef cubes for extra flavor and texture before adding them to the crockpot.
To thicken the stew, check out our post on How to Thicken Soup using a cornstarch slurry or all-purpose flour.
It's almost a faux pas to serve stew without a side of bread! We love serving it in a Bread Bowl or using a regular bowl with Sweet Cornbread on the side.
For a stove-top version, try our Classic Beef Stew recipe.

Store leftovers in an airtight container(s) in the refrigerator for 3-5 days, or freeze in freezer bags for up to 6 months. Reheat small portions can be heated in the microwave, while larger portions are best heated on the stovetop or crockpot. If needed, thaw in the fridge before heating.
