Crockpot Classic Beef Stew

This recipe came from myrecipes.com, this stew is delicious, one of the best I've made. Great for a cold winter day- especially this winter we've been having. A perfect comfort food.



What you will need:

- 1 pkg of stewing beef cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 2 large onions- chopped
- 1 6oz can of tomato paste
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 3 medium sized potatoes- washed and cubed
- 2 large carrots- peeled and chopped
- 2 cups of beef broth
- 1 tbsp. salt
- 1 tsp. of thyme
- 1 bay leaf

Heat a skillet on medium heat with 2 tbsp. of olive oil. Coat your beef in the flour and brown meat a few pieces at a time, adding more oil as needed. Add to crockpot. Add the onion to the skillet, turn down heat to low and let sauté for about 10 minutes, then add in tomato paste and coat the onion, then transfer to crockpot. Pour wine in skillet and scrap up brown bits, then transfer to crockpot. Add the rest of the ingredients to the slow cooker and stir. Cook on low for 7 1/2 hours or on high for 4. Discard bay leaf when finished cooking.
