My entire home always smells amazing when this is being slow cooked! Tastes even better than it smells!

Instructions

Prep beef: Toss beef cubes in flour, salt, and pepper.

Brown: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Sear beef until browned on all sides. Transfer to slow cooker.

Build flavor: In the same skillet, sauté onion and garlic for 2–3 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, then transfer to the slow cooker.

Assemble: Add carrots, potatoes, broth, wine (if using), Worcestershire, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves. Stir gently.

Cook: Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4–5 hours, until beef is fork-tender and veggies are soft.

Finish: Taste and adjust seasoning. Remove bay leaves before serving.

Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley. Best with crusty bread.
