Ingredients

Scale

2 pounds Halal Beef Stew Meat
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 large Yellow Onio
4 cloves Garlic
3 medium Carrots
2 Celery Stalks
1.5 pounds Potatoes
4 cups Halal Certified Beef Broth
2 tablespoons Tomato Paste
1 tablespoon Halal Certified Worcestershire Sauce
1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
0.5 teaspoon Dried Rosemary
1 Bay Leaf
1 teaspoon Salt
0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
0.25 cup Fresh Parsley
2 tablespoons Cornstarch
2 tablespoons Cold Water

Instructions

  1. Pat your 2 pounds of halal beef stew meat dry with paper towels. Season the meat generously with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Working in batches if necessary, add the seasoned beef. Sear the meat for 3-4 minutes per side until it develops a deep brown crust. Remove the seared beef from the skillet and set it aside
  3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the chopped large yellow onion and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it softens and becomes translucent. Next, add the 4 cloves of minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it
  4. Stir in the 2 tablespoons of tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour in about 1/2 cup of the halal-certified beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoo
  5. Transfer the seared beef, sautéed onion and garlic mixture, chopped carrots, chopped celery, and cubed potatoes to your slow cooker. Add the remaining 3.5 cups of halal-certified beef broth, 1 tablespoon of halal-certified Worcestershire sauce, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon of dried rosemary, and 1 bay leaf. Stir everything gently to combine
  6. Cover your slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the halal beef is incredibly tender and easily pulls apart with a fork
  7. If you prefer a thicker stew, create a cornstarch slurry. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth. Stir this slurry into the hot stew during the last 30 minutes of cooking. The stew will thicken as it continues to cook. Remove the bay leaf before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt or pepper if desired. Garnish with 1/4 cup of fresh chopped parsley if you like, and serve warm

Notes

Do not skip searing the meat, as this step is crucial for developing incredible flavor through the Maillard reaction.

Deglaze the pan after sautéing aromatics with a bit of broth to capture all the flavorful browned bits.

Cut vegetables uniformly (roughly 1-inch pieces) to ensure they cook evenly.

Always taste and adjust seasonings before serving; a splash of vinegar or lemon juice can brighten flavors at the end.

For a thicker stew, mix cornstarch with cold water to prevent lumps, then stir into the hot stew and simmer for 15-30 minutes. Alternatively, mash a few cooked potatoes against the side of the slow cooker to naturally thicken the broth.

Store cooled stew in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

This stew freezes exceptionally well for up to 3 months in freezer-safe containers; remember to label with the date.

Reheat individual portions in the microwave or larger quantities gently on the stovetop, adding a splash of broth or water if needed.

Thaw frozen stew overnight in the refrigerator for best results, then reheat on the stovetop.

Serve this hearty stew with crusty bread, a warm baguette, garlic bread, fluffy white rice, creamy mashed potatoes, polenta, couscous, a simple green salad, or cornbread.
