    How to Make Easy Crockpot Irish Beef Stew<\/h2>\n

    Step 1: Sear Your Beef<\/h3>\n

    Add olive oil to a saut\u00e9 pan and heat over medium heat.<\/p>\n

    Once hot, add in the beef stew meat, and season with salt and pepper.<\/p>\n

    Sear the beef on all sides, for about 3 minutes, until browned.<\/p>\n

    \n
    \"Easy<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

    To simplify the recipe, I prefer to use the pre-cut beef stew meat.<\/p>\n

    I just grab a few packages from the meat department at my local grocer, but you can also purchase and cut your own beef, like a chuck roast.<\/p>\n

    Just make sure to trim away any excess fat so you don\u2019t end up with a greasy stew.<\/p>\n

    Step 2: Add Beef and Vegetables to the Slow Cooker<\/h3>\n

    Next, line your crockpot with a slow cooker liner and add the seared beef to the crockpot, along with the chopped onion, potatoes, and carrots.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    \n

    Step 3: Mix the Stew Base and Cook<\/h3>\n

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the beef broth, minced garlic, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme.<\/p>\n

    Pour over the beef cubes and vegetable mixture and add the bay leaf on top.<\/p>\n

    \n
    \"Easy<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

    Then cover and cook your beef stew on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours.<\/p>\n

    Step 4: Thicken the Stew<\/h3>\n

    Just before serving, remove the bay leaf.<\/p>\n

    \n
    \"Hearty<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

    Then, combine the cornstarch and 3 tbsp water in a small bowl and pour into the beef stew to thicken it, and stir to combine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    \n

    Step 5: Add Your Peas<\/h3>\n

    To finish, add in the frozen peas and cover again.<\/p>\n

    \n
    \"Easy<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

    Once the peas are heated through and the stew has thickened, garnish with fresh parsley and serve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
