Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. Brown the beef cubes in olive oil in a skillet until a golden crust forms, then transfer to the crockpot.
  3. Sauté diced onions in the same skillet until soft, add minced garlic and red wine to deglaze, then transfer to the crockpot.
  4. Add carrots, potatoes, beef stock, bay leaf, and rosemary to the crockpot and stir gently.
  5. Cover and cook on low for 7.5 to 8 hours, or on high for 3.5 to 4 hours until the meat is tender.
  6. In the final 15 minutes, add frozen peas, stir gently to heat through.
  7. For a thicker stew, mix cornstarch with cold water and stir into the crockpot during the last few minutes.
  8. Turn off the crockpot and stir in butter for added flavor and a velvety texture before serving.
