Ingredients

2 lbs beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes

1 cup beef broth

1 cup mushrooms, sliced

1 onion, finely chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup soy sauce

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon dried thyme

2 tablespoons flour

2 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Cooked rice or mashed potatoes for serving

Instructions

Prepare the Beef: Season the beef cubes with salt, pepper, and paprika. Set aside.

Sear the Beef (Stove Top Method):

- In a large skillet or pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.

- Add the beef cubes in batches, searing them on all sides until browned (about 5-7 minutes). Remove beef and transfer to a plate.

Sauté Aromatics:

- In the same skillet, add chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

- Add mushrooms and cook for another 2-3 minutes until softened.

Create the Gravy:

- Sprinkle the flour over the mushroom mixture and stir to combine. Cook for 1 minute.

- Gradually add the beef broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a simmer.

Combine Ingredients:

- Return the seared beef to the pot.

- Stir in the soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

Simmer:

- Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 30-35 minutes, or until the beef is tender, stirring occasionally.

Crock Pot Method:

Sear the Beef (Optional): Follow steps 1 and 2 above if you want enhanced flavor, but you can also skip this and directly add the beef to the crock pot.

Combine Ingredients in Crock Pot:

- Add all ingredients (including seared beef or raw beef) into the crock pot.

- Stir to combine and ensure the beef is submerged in the gravy mixture.

Cook:

- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until the beef is tender.

Serve:

- Once cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve over cooked rice or mashed potatoes and garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
