Crockpot Beef Stew

January 4, 2018

2018 is here and I have returned to work after a 3-month maternity leave. It’s been an adjustment, for sure. Yesterday morning I sleepily spent a good 2 minutes wiping off my glasses because they were so blurry before I realized it was because I had already put my contacts in. I’m a little socially awkward after spending 3 months talking to only a baby and 2 dogs. And I’m pretty sure I’ve shown her photo to people in the halls who hadn’t even asked to see it.

Life looks a little different these days. Laundry and mail pile up a little more easily and I’ve used my coffeemaker and crockpot more than I ever have (especially for recipes like this beef stew).

And then there’s our little Sofia. She smiles when I yawn. I yawn because it’s 3 am and she’s hungry. And then I yawn again because it makes her smile.

Trying to balance being a new mom and a good employee will take some time. But for now, I am thankful for the time I’ve had with her, a wonderful support system, and a job with people I care about. And for that extra cup of coffee.

Ingredients
  1. 2 pounds beef stew meat, (cut into bite-sized pieces)
  2. 1 tsp Salt
  3. 1 tsp pepper
  4. 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  5. 2 celery ribs, sliced
  6. 2-3 cloves of garlic, minced
  7. 6oz can tomato paste
  8. 32oz beef broth
  9. 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  10. 2 cups baby carrots carrots
  11. 4-5 small red potatoes,cut into bite-sized pieces (about 3 cups)
  12. 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  13. 1 teaspoon oregano
  14. 1 cups frozen peas
  15. 1 cup frozen corn
  16. 1/4 cup flour
  17. 1/4 cup water
Instructions
  1. Combine beef, celery, carrots, red onion, potatoes, salt, pepper, garlic, parsley, oregano, Worcestershire sauce, beef broth, and tomato paste in the crock pot. I used a 6 qt crockpot for this stew. Cook on LOW for 10 hours or on HIGH for 6-7 hours.
  2. About 30 minutes before serving, mix the flour and the water together in a small dish and pour into the crockpot. Mix until well combined. This will add a nice thickness to the stew. Next add in your frozen peas and corn. Continue cooking covered for 30 minutes.

    Congratulations Jasmine! It’s been a while… Sophia! I’m so happy for you. I can’t wait to scour your site for some pics! The sleep will come- eventually. Think of it as your new mom rite of passage. Hahaha! (You’ll have to excuse me, I haven’t slept in 12 years, lol.) And your beef stew looks delicious. 😉
