Single dad. My daughter (10) didn’t want to eat out…again. It’s snowing outside, so I figured a beef stew might be easy enough that I wouldn’t mess up too badly. Your crock pot beef stew looked like something I could handle. Wow! It was fantastic! I’m a hero now. Highly recommend it!

I’m sorry for the confusion. It is tomato paste. I will get that fixed, thanks for letting me know!

Enjoying this recipe for a second time but do have a question. In the ingredients list you say tomato paste, but in the directions you say tomato sauce. Which is it?

Omg!!!! My husband said this stew was better than his mom’s!!! Only thing I added was a can of regular Rotel diced tomatoes & peppers. My entire family LOVED this, it was hearty & went perfectly with warm sweet-n-sour red cabbage & crusty sourdough bread.

Ingredient list shows tomato paste, but below in Step 2, it says tomato sauce. This looks like a great recipe and I want to make sure I use the correct ingredient. Thank you

I wouldn’t cook anything beforehand. Searing the meat just takes a few minutes and then I would let the meat cook in the slow cooker with everything else so that it can absorb all of the flavors!

If cooking the meat the night before should it be fully cooked? Or can I 70% cook and make sure it cools down to keep out of danger zone.

Fantastic recipe thankyou!

I made it with my new old slow cooker and will be my go-to beef stew base.

In my variation I fried up red and white onion with some mushrooms after searing the beef and deglazed the pan with some red wine and butter afterward.

I also added some shredded cabbage and some yams on hand to the cooker, used tomato paste instead of sauce, red wine, some brown sugar with salt n pepper to taste, and cornflour to thicken.

So rich and delicious!

My family and I loved this recipe. At first, I was not sure about adding the tomato paste and flour; however, these ingredients made it delicious. I also left out the peas since my boys do not care for them. We added some Texas Pete to make it spicy. I will definitely make beef stew this way again. Thanks for sharing!
