How to Make Abita Beef Stew In A Crock Pot

  1. Season the beef cubes generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  2. In your crock-pot, brown the beef cubes in batches over medium-high heat on the stovetop before transferring to the crock-pot. This step adds depth of flavor.
  3. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the crock-pot and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to soften slightly.
  4. Pour in the Abita beer, beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well to combine.
  5. Add the bay leaves and thyme.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the beef is incredibly tender.
  7. About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the cornstarch slurry (mix cornstarch and cold water until smooth). This will slightly thicken the stew.
  8. Remove the bay leaves before serving.
  9. Serve hot with crusty bread for dipping. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
