Wholesome Slow Cooker Beef Stew

From: Primavera Kitchen
Cooking Time: 6 hours & 20 minutes
Serves: 8
Description:
We receive a bi-weekly CSA fruit and veggie box and that has really opened my eyes up to so many new root vegetables. They are so delicious, but sometimes I need creative ways to serve them so my family will eat them all! I’ve found that stew is a great way to pack a lot of veggies and proteins in…and the best part is that everyone eats it.
Ingredients
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cups carrots, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 celery ribs, chopped
  • 4 medium red potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces (I like to substitute sweet
  • potatoes in here when I have them)
  • 4 turnips, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 parsnips, cut into bite-sized into pieces
  • 1 cup tomato paste
  • 6 cups beef broth
  • 2 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 tsp dried parsley
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 4 dried bay leaves
  • 4 lb Mariposa Ranch Grass Fed Beef Stew Meat
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tsp black pepper
  • 4 Tbsp olive oil
  • 4-5 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
  1. Place the onions, carrots, celery, red potatoes, turnips, parsnip, tomato paste, beef broth, dried thyme, dried parsley, oregano and dried bay leaves into a large slow cooker.
  2. Toss the stew meat with salt and pepper until it is fully coated. Set the meat aside.
  3. Over medium heat, heat the olive oil in a skillet. Add the garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant is released.
  4. Add the stew meat and let the beef cook without stirring for a few minutes to allow the meat to brown on one side. Stir and repeat until all sides of the beef are browned.
  5. Add the cooked beef to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the vegetables.
  6. Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours. After 6 hours, taste the stew and adjust the salt if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley.
