Prep time about 30 minutes.Cooking time 8 1/4-10 1/4 hours
Filled with colorful vegetables, mushrooms, and potatoes, this stew is such a complete dish that you need very few accompaniments -- perhaps just a mixed green salad and hot biscuits or crunchy French rolls.
1 medium-size onion, finely chopped
2 medium-size carrots, cut into 1/4" thick slanting slices
1 pound small thin-skinned potatoes, scrubbed and cut lengthwise into quarters
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
2 to 2-1/4 pounds lean boneless beef round, trimmed of fat and cut into 10 cubes
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons dry thyme
1 can (about 14-1/2 oz.) stewed tomatoes
1/4 cup red wine or beef broth
1 package (about 10 oz.) frozen peas, thawed
salt
In a 3-1/2-quart or larger electric slow cooker, combine onion, carrots, potatoes, and mushrooms. Coat beef cubes with flour, then add to cooker and sprinkle with thyme. Add tomatoes and wine. Cover and cook at low setting until beef is very tender when pierced (8 to 10 hours).
Skim and discard fat from stew, if necessary. Stir in peas. Increase cooker heat setting to high; cover and cook until peas are heated through (10 to 15 more minutes). Season to taste with salt. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
