Ingredients

  

• 2 # of beef roast, stew meat, or steak cut into 1 inch pieces. We like to make a big roast and then use the leftovers for stew.
• 1/4 cup corn starch
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 1/2 cups beef broth
• 1 Tbsp Kitchen Bouquet
• 4 medium carrots sliced

• 1 medium onion chopped
• 3 stalks celery sliced
• 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 1 clove garlic minced (or 1/4 tsp granulated garlic)
• 1 bay leaf

Instructions

 

• Place your meat in the slow cooker.
• Premix the corn starch, salt and pepper together. Sprinkle this mix over the meat and stir to coat the meat evenly.
• Add the rest of the ingredients and stir through.
• Cook on low for 8-10 hours, or on high for 4-5 hours.
• Serve in bowls with some crusty bread or biscuits for dunking.
