This is an awesome crockpot beef stew.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 lbs lean stew beef (I tend to cut this in half and increase the veggies)
- 1 onion, quartered
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tsp salt, or to taste
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 2 bay leaves
- 6 carrots, cut in pieces (I add more)
- 6 medium potatoes, cut in pieces
- 1/3 cup cold water blended with 3 tablespoons flour
DIRECTIONS
Combine flour, paprika, and garlic powder in a ziploc bag; add
stew beef and toss to coat. Brown coated beef in hot oil in a large
skillet; transfer to crockpot. Add the remaining ingredients except for
the water and flour mixture. Cook on low for 8-10 hours, until veggies
are tender. About 30 mins before serving, add flour/water mixture to
the pot. Turn to high and cook until thickened. Serves 6-8
