Ranch Crockpot Beef Stew Recipe

 Fall is officially here!  Hoodies are getting unpacked, bonfires are around the corner and classic crock pot deliciousness is back on the menu!  And though this isn't the classic crockpot beef stew recipe, it is yummy all on its own!


I really, REALLY wanted to make the classic one and still fully intend to.   I'd promised a friend.  BUT when I was inventorying my supplies, I found I was out of Worcestershire sauce.  Class beef stew calls for it.  It gives it a flavor that's really hard to duplicate with anything else.  But sadly, my truck is on the blink right now...so no store trip for me.


Thankfully all the ingredients were here to make this version instead.  Though it wasn't the recipe I'd promised to make, it still went over very well.


Btw...if ranch isn't your bag, just click on any of the links in the listing below...there are a couple more versions down the page (including the classic I've still not had time to make yet)...

  • COOK TIME 7 hrs
  • TOTAL TIME 7 hrs 10 mins
  • SERVINGS 8 servings


INGREDIENTS

  • 2 pounds beef stew meat
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1-2 tablespoons oil
  • 4 medium potatoes washed and cubed (I usually peel mine too but it isn't necessary)
  • 3 cups carrots baby carrots or diced carrots, either way
  • 1 cup celery diced (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons garlic minced
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 3 cups beef broth

INSTRUCTIONS

  2. Heat your oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated meat and garlic. Brown on all sides.
  3. While that's cooking, prep your veggies (Peeling is optional but if you're using whole carrots, I would recommend it). Toss them in the slow cooker as you chop them up.
  4. Mix 1 cup of the broth with the leftover flour and pour it over the meat in the skillet. Give it about 5 minutes to thicken up, make sure and stir it every few minutes.
  5. Once meat mixture has thickened up, pour it in the crockpot too.

  7. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
