Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients

  • 1 lb peeled carrots cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 large onion coarsely chopped
  • 3 cups brussels sprouts halved
  • 1/2 lb fingerling potatoes cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 5 stalks celery cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp Lawry's Garlic Salt
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 lbs meat of choice
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 3 tbsp bacon drippings or extra virgin olive oil
  • 32 oz chicken broth or other broth of choice
  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat liner.
  • Place all of your cut vegetables onto prepared baking sheet, use 2 if necessary. Bake for 20 minutes, or until slightly softened. Vegetables will cook more in the slow cooker.
  • Place beef into large ziploc with flour, salt and pepper. Shake to coat all pieces.
  • Heat large dutch oven over medium heat with bacon drippings (preferred) or olive oil.
  • Brown flour coated beef pieces in hot pan to brown both sides, about 5 minutes per side.
  • Transfer browned beef to slow cooker placed on low setting. Add roasted vegetables and broth.
  • Melt butter into a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour, salt and pepper until smooth. 
  • Slowly whisk in broth. Continue whisking until thickened. Stir in dried thyme then stir into slow cooker. Let cook for 5-8 hours until beef is fork tender.
  • Season to your liking. Serve warm over mashed potatoes or just by itself in a bowl.
