Ingredients:
  • 2 pounds chuck roast, cut into 1-inch chunks1/4 cup all-purpose flour1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, plus more to taste2 tablespoons olive oil1 white onion, chopped
  • 1 cup dry red wine, like Cabernet Sauvignon3 ribs celery, chopped2 medium parsnips, peeled and chopped4 medium carrots, peeled and chopped1 pound new potatoes, halved3 cloves garlic, quartered2 bay leaves4 cups beef stock2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons waterChopped fresh parsley leaves, for garnish
Instructions:
  • Brown the beef: Combine beef, flour, salt, and black pepper in a bowl, ensuring beef is evenly coated. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Sear half of the beef for 3-4 minutes per side without stirring. Transfer seared beef to a bowl. Repeat with the remaining beef and transfer to the bowl.
  • Deglaze the skillet by reducing heat to medium-low and adding the onions. Sauté for 2 minutes to slightly soften them. Pour in the red wine and use a wooden spatula to scrape off any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  • Create a flavorful stew in the slow cooker: Combine celery, parsnips, carrots, potatoes, garlic, bay leaves, and beef stock in a large slow cooker. Add the browned beef along with onions and red wine. Cover and cook on high for 5 to 6 hours or on low for 8 hours.
  • To thicken the stew, mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl and stir into the stew. Allow it to thicken for 1 to 2 minutes while stirring. Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed.
  • To serve the stew, generously spoon the hearty beef stew into individual bowls and top them off with a sprinkle of fresh parsley. This stew stores exceptionally well, refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze in a suitable container for up to 3 months. Gently warm it on the stovetop with a bit of water for optimal results.
