Gluten Free Crockpot Beef Stew with Red Wine

This slow cooker stew builds deep, savory flavor the old-fashioned way: seared chunks of beef chuck go into the pot after a hard sear, followed by softened onion and celery, a spoonful of tomato paste cooked until it darkens, and a generous pour of dry red wine to deglaze all those browned bits. Beef broth, Yukon Gold potatoes, carrots, fresh thyme, and bay leaves round things out before the whole thing simmers low and slow for hours, until the beef turns fork-tender and the vegetables practically melt. The long braise does all the work here, coaxing out a rich, glossy sauce without any fuss beyond an initial sear and a stir. Finished with a scatter of fresh parsley, it's the kind of cozy, warming bowl you want on a cold night. It's also a great choice for a gluten free dinner rotation, delivering all the classic braised-beef comfort you're craving.

½ tsp black pepper
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
Chef's tip
Choose a gluten-free baking blend labeled 1:1 or cup-for-cup and use the same amount. Almond and coconut flour won't work the same way.
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

For serving

2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped (optional)

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.
