Steps:
- Cut the beef chuck roast into 1-inch cubes, removing any large, tough pieces of fat or gristle. I found it easiest to cut it into 1-inch-thick large, round slices, then strips, then cubes. Place the cubes in a large bowl and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Sprinkle on the flour, then toss lightly to coat.
- Place a large, deep Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil. Once the oil is hot and shimmering (a drop of water should sizzle if added to the surface), add one-third to one-half of the beef. The cubes should be in a single layer and not too crowded so that they brown nicely. Let the cubes of beef cook undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes (resist the urge to peek!), until the bottom of the cubes develop a dark-brown crust and come away from the pan easily. Turn and continue searing until dark and golden all over, about 4 to 5 additional minutes. Transfer the seared meat to a clean bowl or plate.
- Add another 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pot, and once hot, sear the remaining beef, working in batches and ensuring that you do not overcrowd the pieces. It may take two or three batches total depending on the size of your pan. If the pan gets too dry, add a bit more oil as needed.
- While the meat browns, dice the yellow onion and celery. Mince the garlic.
- When the last batch of beef has been seared, transfer it to a plate and reduce the heat to medium.
- Add the final tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Add the onions and celery and cook until the onions are soft and translucent; about 7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds, until fragrant. Stir in the tomato paste, Worcestershire, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- While the onions sauté, peel and dice the carrots and parsnips. Scrub the potatoes and cut into a rough dice. Set aside.
- Increase the pan heat to medium-high heat and add the wine or beer (stand back, as it will sputter). Cook, letting the wine reduce and scraping up all of the brown bits from the pan. Continue to scrape and stir until the liquid is slightly reduced and thickened, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Transfer the sautéed vegetables and any sauce from the pan to a 6-quart or larger slow cooker. Add the beef, carrots, parsnips, potatoes, bay leaf, thyme, and 3 cups beef broth. Stir to roughly combine.
- Cover and cook on low for 6 1/2 to 8 hours or high for 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 hours, until the beef is cooked through and fall-apart tender. Remove the bay leaf and thyme stems and stir in the peas. If you'd like the stew thinner, add additional broth until it reaches your desired consistency. Taste and add additional salt or pepper as desired. Serve hot, garnish with fresh parsley.

EASY CROCK POT BEEF STEW
This beef stew has a tomato based sauce, giving it a little different flavor. Cooked it up one day and got rave reviews from my husband, who is not a stew fan usually. It's also very, very easy and low in calories. I put it in a calorie calculator and it's only about 100 calories per cup. I like to put it together the night before and put the whole crock in the fridge, then in the morning I just pop it into the warmer and let it go!

Steps:
- Fry the onion and celery in 1 tbsp oil over a low heat until they start to soften - about 5 mins. Add the carrots, bay and thyme, fry for 2 mins, stir in the purée and Worcestershire sauce, add 600ml boiling water, stir and tip everything into a slow cooker. Crumble over the stock cubes or add the stock pots and stir, then season with pepper (don't add salt as the stock may be salty).
- Clean out the frying pan and fry the beef in the remaining oil in batches until it is well browned, then tip each batch into the slow cooker. Cook on low for 8-10 hrs, or on high for 4 hrs.
- If you want to thicken the gravy, mix the cornflour with a splash of cold water to make a paste, then stir in 2 tbsp of the liquid from the slow cooker. Tip back into the slow cooker, stir and cook for a further 30 mins on high. Stir in the parsley and season again to taste. Serve with mash, if you like. Leave to cool before freezing.

CROCKPOT SUPER EASY BEEF STEW
The secret in this recipe is the potatoes, it gives this stew an unmistakable delicious flavor. You can add peas and mushrooms. We just don't like those in this particular stew. The cloves of garlic I used were in vinegar (you can find this in your local grocery store or Walmart). This recipe can be made with any veggies you...

Steps:
- 1. Take a non-stick skillet, add stew meat, add garlic salt and Lowery's seasoning salt. Brown meat (about five minutes).
- 2. While the meat is browning, add to the crock pot: cloves of garlic,stewed tomatoes, celery, carrots,green bell pepper, beef or chicken stock, brown gravy (I whisked the brown gravy with a bit of water; to eliminate lumps), beef or chicken stock, and onions.
- 3. Put lid on slow cooker. Place temperature on low and cook for 8-10 hours. Your time will depend on how your cooker heats. I have three pots and they each cook different.
- 4. Now, take your cubed potatoes (washed of course) and place in a very large bowl, sprinkle your dry ranch packet over potatoes. Take a large spoon and stir until every potato is coated well. Place coated potatoes in a zip lock bag and place in refrigerator overnight.
- 5. Now it's morning and you will pre-heat oven to 350 and bake your ranch covered potatoes until tender (20-30 minutes. Ovens vary so you might want to watch after about 20 minutes to make sure you don't burn them. Once done, add them to your stew and ENJOY!!
