How To Make Our Slow Cooker Chunky Roast Stew:
Start by trimming the fat from the chuck roast and then cut it into 1 ½ inch pieces or if you want to make it even easier, you can have the butcher cut it into the pieces for you.
Then in a gallon-sized bag put the flour, thyme, and pepper, zip it up, and shake it to combine it all together.
Once the flour mixture is done, add in the meat and shake it together to coat the meat in the seasoned flour.
Now, in a medium skillet, heat 4 tablespoons of oil over high heat.
After the oil is hot, add in the seasoned meat and cook it for about 4-5 minutes to sear the outside, or until the edges of the meat are brown.
PRO TIP: By searing the outside of the meat before you cook it in the stew it allows the meat to retain the wonderful juicy flavor.
Then transfer the meat into the slow cooker.
Once the meat is in the slow cooker add in the sliced onion, minced garlic, beef broth, tomato paste, diced tomatoes (undrained), diced mushrooms, diced potatoes, diced bell peppers, sliced carrots, diced celery, and salt.
Then just put the lid on the slow cooker and turn it on low heat and let it cook for 6-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours.
When you are ready to eat, serve it in a bowl hot and top it off with some freshly chopped parsley.
