Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Large Skillet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 pounds beef stew meat
  • 4 medium potatoes, cut into chunks
  • 4 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and sear it on all sides until browned. Transfer the beef to the slow cooker.
  • Place the potatoes, carrots, onion, and garlic into the slow cooker with the beef.
  • Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning over the meat and vegetables. Pour in the beef broth and diced tomatoes. Add salt and black pepper, then stir everything together.
  • Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours until the beef is fork-tender.
  • Ladle the stew into bowls and top each serving with chopped parsley.

Notes

If the broth seems too thin at the end, remove the lid for the last hour to let some liquid evaporate. Start with one tablespoon of Cajun seasoning and taste before adding the second if you prefer less heat. Leftovers reheat well on the stovetop with a splash of broth to loosen the texture.
