Ingredients

  • 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons salt, divided
  • 1 teaspoon pepper, divided
  • 2 pounds beef stew meat
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 6 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 medium onions, halved and sliced
  • 4 celery ribs, sliced
  • 2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) beef broth
  • 2 cans (11-1/2 ounces each) V8 juice
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 6 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup cold water

Directions

  1. Combine the flour, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Add beef, a few pieces at a time, and shake to coat.
  2. Brown beef in oil in batches in a large skillet. Transfer meat and drippings to a 6-qt slow cooker. Add the potatoes, carrots, onion and celery. Combine the broth, juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, basil, paprika and remaining salt and pepper; pour over top.
  3. Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or until meat and vegetables are tender. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; stir into stew. Cover and cook 30 minutes longer or until thickened. Discard bay leaves.
