How to Make Beef Mushroom Crock Pot

  1. Cut 1.5 lbs beef stew meat into 1-inch cubes.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the beef cubes with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Toss to coat.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the beef cubes in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. This step enhances the flavor.
  4. Transfer the browned beef to your crock pot.
  5. Add 1 large onion, chopped; 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 cup beef broth; 1/2 cup dry red wine; 1 tbsp tomato paste; 1 tsp dried thyme; and 1 bay leaf to the crock pot.
  6. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the beef is incredibly tender.
  7. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
  8. Optional: Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley before serving.
  9. Optional: Serve over cooked egg noodles and top with grated Parmesan cheese.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
