Beef stew, after cooking on a low temp overnight.
Beef stew, after cooking on a low temp overnight. The beef was so tender, it was falling apart when I spooned up some of it.
1 lb tender chuck roast, cubed (I halfway thaw it from frozen, cuts the easiest)
1 lb carrots, sliced
1 large onion, diced coarsely
about 5-6 medium potatoes, cubed
4 cups low-sodium beef broth
Put the meat into the crock pot (slow cooker), then add the veggies on top. Set on low for 10-12 hours, depending on how hot your crock pot gets. I created the original recipe for a fancier/richer stew here: http://goo.gl/9tq9s, but this one’s more simple. I learned it’s best to use little to no salt when cooking in the crock pot, especially with meat, as it can toughen things up, so that’s why I used a low-sodium broth. You can always season it when it’s finished cooking. About halfway through cooking (or a few hours in), stir the ingredients to turn the meat over to the top, this can help with getting the meat’s juices into the veggies to get them tender and more flavorful. I was lazy and mixed it all up last night with no order, and used extra broth (I usually use about 2 cups). #BJsFoodPorn

I’ll be in my bunk … well no I won’t but damn that looks good!!
The onions are practically gone. Think they cooked down way too much. I wonder if maybe an hour or two less cooking time would have made a difference?
In my experience 10 hours would still have eviscerated the onions hehe
Probably not, you can always roast onions and add, they do help with the thickness of the sauce quite a bit.
Girl….you be cookin’.
Robert Partridge I learned the hard way that this crock pot is VERY hot and fast.
LOL my mind went somewhere else with that comment Bobbi Jo Woods
Hahaha. Me too Robert Partridge
Dirty!
At times 😉
It was the best breakfast evar, Megan Eklund!
There’s plenty to share!
Nice.
Onions should be tasted and not seen anyway.
O.o
this looks very hardy… stuff to give you energy. good stuff!
Totally sticking to my ribs, after just one small bowl. I’m good for awhile!
I always have to add onions in later so they don’t dissolve. That would completely defeat the purpose of using a slow cooker.
I want a bowl (or 5) 🙁
There’s lots!
Can you mail some to me?
Dammit Google! When are you going to release Google transporter so I can get a bowl beamed to me?!
It would be expensive, but not impossible to do so. I would have to acquire some dry ice.
Valerie Gaul dinner tomorrow?
OH HOT DAYUM! Delish!
Yeah, turned out so awesome.
Sure, but I want a decent roast.
Valerie Gaul this was an almost $13 hunk of meat (2.25 lbs) at Super Target.
Ahhhhhhhh. My mouth waters. I bet a sourdough dinner rolls be excellent with that. Good Job. Bobbie Jo.
