Garlic Lover’s Beef Stew truly is a mouth-watering stew for those of us who love garlic! It will come as no secret when you hear that I adore garlic! I think it’s down to all my time spent in Mediterranean countries where they love to cook with garlic. And lots of it! This recipe is a great way for me to get my garlic fix!
I use a slow cooker for this recipe. It is so easy! I start by browning the meat and cooking the garlic. I make a base for the sauce by deglazing the pan with red wine. Then I place all the remaining ingredients in the slow cooker for 8-10 hours until the beef is falling apart. I serve mine with hot mashed potatoes. It is my favorite comfort food.
To make Garlic Lover’s Beef Stew, you will need the following ingredients:
Toss the beef pieces in a mixture of salt, pepper and flour. Place them in a large skillet with olive oil and cook over high heat until the meat is browned all over. Transfer the browned beef pieces to your slow cooker.
Reduce heat to medium. In the same pan, cook the garlic while stirring for 1 minute.
Add the wine and scrape any bits of meat that are stuck to the pan. These add flavor to the stew. Transfer the contents of the pan to the slow cooker.
Mix in the tomatoes, broth, carrots, onions, tomato paste, rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, cloves.
Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours until the beef is falling apart.
Remove the bay leaves using a slotted spoon.
Serve with hot mashed potatoes.
