Ingredients

6 servings

2 ½ lb beef chuck roast, cut into 1 ½-inch cubes
1 ½ tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 large yellow onion, roughly chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 can (14.9 oz) guinness stout
2 cups beef broth
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves, or 1 tsp dried thyme
2 bay leaves
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

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. Sprinkle the flour over the beef and toss to coat evenly.
2
Heat the vegetable 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 a deep brown crust forms. Transfer the seared beef to the slow cooker insert.
