Dairy Free Crockpot Beef Stew with Red Wine

This slow-cooked stew builds deep, savory flavor the old-fashioned way: chuck roast seared until deeply browned, then simmered low and slow with red wine, beef broth, and a splash of Worcestershire until it's fall-apart tender. Yukon Gold potatoes, carrots, and celery soak up all that rich, wine-darkened broth, while garlic, tomato paste, and fresh thyme keep every spoonful layered and savory rather than one-note. The crockpot does the heavy lifting here, turning tough cubes of beef into something spoon-tender over hours of gentle cooking, no babysitting required. A scattering of fresh parsley at the end brightens the whole pot right before serving. It's a hearty, comforting bowl that happens to fit neatly into a dairy free routine, no adjustments needed to enjoy a big, ladled serving over mashed potatoes or on its own with crusty bread.

3 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp tomato paste
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup dry red wine (such as cabernet sauvignon or côtes du rhône)
2 cups beef broth
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 lb yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 stalks celery, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 medium yellow onion, roughly chopped
3 sprigs fresh thyme
2 bay leaves

Instructions

1
Pat the beef cubes dry with paper towels, then season all over with the salt and pepper. Toss the seasoned beef in the flour until each piece is lightly coated, shaking off any excess.
2
Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in two batches to avoid crowding, sear the beef cubes undisturbed for 3–4 minutes per side until a deep brown crust forms, then transfer to the slow cooker insert. Do not clean the skillet.
