Gluten Free Crockpot Beef Stew

Total time8 hr 40 min

Cook time15 min

Tender chunks of beef chuck go in seared and deeply browned before settling into the slow cooker with hearty Yukon Gold potatoes, carrots, and celery for hours of low, slow cooking. A rich braising liquid built from red wine, beef broth, tomato paste, and a splash of Worcestershire sauce turns deeply savory as everything melts into fork-tender perfection. Fresh thyme and bay leaf infuse the whole pot with warmth, while a stir of sweet peas at the end brightens every spoonful. This is the kind of set-it-and-forget-it dinner that rewards patience with deeply comforting results, and it's a great fit for a gluten free table. Ladle it into bowls, top with fresh parsley, and serve it up on a chilly night when you want something soul-warming and satisfying.

½ tsp black pepper
2 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 medium yellow onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 cup dry red wine (such as cabernet sauvignon or merlot)
2 cups low-sodium beef broth
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 lb yukon gold potatoes, cut into 1 ½-inch chunks
3 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
2 stalks celery, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
1 cup frozen peas, thawed

For serving

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

Instructions

1
Pat the beef cubes dry with paper towels, then toss them in a large bowl with the flour, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
2
Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in two batches to avoid crowding, add the beef in a single layer and sear undisturbed for 3–4 minutes per side, until deeply browned on at least two sides. Transfer the seared beef to the slow cooker insert.
