Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large shallow bowl, whisk together flour, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add beef to seasoned flour and toss until evenly coated; shake off any excess flour.

02

Step

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook beef in hot oil, stirring occasionally, until browned on all sides, 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer beef to the slow cooker; add carrots, onion, potatoes, celery, and garlic.

03

Step

Whisk together red wine, beef broth, tomato paste, and rosemary in a small bowl until smooth; pour over beef and vegetables.

04

Step

Cook on Low until beef and vegetables are tender, 4 to 6 hours.

For a richer flavor, use a full-bodied red wine like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot.
Adjust the amount of beef broth to achieve your desired stew consistency.
Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or bell peppers to customize your stew.
If you prefer a thicker stew, whisk together 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and stir into the stew during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
