Recipe Summary Slow Cooker Beef Stew With Mushrooms
This slow cooker recipe has been developed to be rich and full of the hearty flavor you long for in beef and mushroom stew.Ingredients | Crockpot Beef Stew Recipes
¾ cup all-purpose flour, divided
1 tablespoon dried oregano
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 pounds cubed beef stew meat
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup red wine, divided
29 ounces frozen pearl onions, thawed
2 cups chopped fresh mushrooms
8 medium baby red potatoes
3 large carrots, chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
1 (14.5 ounce) can beef broth
1 ½ cups boiling water
4 cubes beef bouillon
Directions
Combine 1/4 cup flour, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Add beef and toss to coat.
Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat heat. Brown beef in the hot oil on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer meat to the bottom of a slow cooker. Do not clean the skillet.
Pour 1/2 cup red wine into the skillet and add pearl onions and mushrooms. Saute over medium-high heat until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Be sure to scrape the meat bits into the mixture with a wooden spoon. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
Stir potatoes, carrots, and celery into the slow cooker. Add beef broth and remaining wine. Season with salt and pepper.
Cover and cook until beef is no longer pink in the center and vegetables are tender, on Low, 6 to 8 hours, or High, 4 to 6 hours. Near the end of cooking time, whisk boiling water, remaining flour, and bouillon together; stir into the pot and allow sauce to thicken.
