Ingredients

1.5 lbs beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tbsp vegetable oil
3 cups beef broth
1 onion, chopped

3 carrots, peeled and chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped

Instructions

In a medium bowl, toss the beef with the flour until evenly coated.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil until hot. Add the beef and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes.
Transfer the beef to a 6-quart slow cooker. Add the beef broth, onion, garlic, carrots, celery, potatoes, thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.

Discard the bay leaf. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
