Red wine and herb-infused beef stew with onion, potato, and carrots - a comforting cold-weather dish.
Ingredients:
  • 1 pound cubed beef stew meat
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 0.25 cup red wine
  • 1 beef bouillon cube
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 1 large potato, cubed
  • 0.5 cup baby carrots
  • 0.5 teaspoon rosemary
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 0.5 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.25 cup water
  • 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
Instructions:
  • In a resealable plastic bag, combine cubed beef and flour. Shake well to coat beef evenly with flour. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and brown beef on all sides. Transfer the beef to a slow cooker.
  • In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and sauté the onion until tender. Add this mixture to the slow cooker along with the beef. Deglaze the skillet with wine and then transfer the savory liquid to the slow cooker.
  • Dissolve the beef bouillon cube in 1 cup of hot water, then pour it into the slow cooker. Add potatoes and carrots to the slow cooker, and give a flavorful touch with rosemary, thyme, garlic powder, and pepper. Stir in the rest of the water and Worcestershire sauce, adding more water if necessary to cover all ingredients.
  • Let the stew simmer and develop flavors for 7 to 8 hours on Low heat with the lid on.
