Notes

Slow Cooker Method:
In a pan or all-in-one slow cooker set heat temperature to medium on the sear setting. Pour in the 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil. Add in the 1 1/2 lb Beef cubes, 1 Onion sliced, 2 Whole garlic cloves minced, 4 Carrot chopped,2 Celery sticks,2 cup Fresh mushrooms, 2 Potato, 2 tsp M salt (salt and pepper), 1/2 tsp Dried thyme.
Cook until the meat is cooked browned. Add in the flour and coat. Toss together at least one minute. If you used a pan for the first step, transfer to the slow cooker. If you did it all in an all-in-one slow cooker turn the heat to slow cook instead of sear. 
Add in the 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce and 32 oz Beef broth and 2 cup Frozen peas. Turn the slow cooker to high and cook for 4 hours or low and cook for 8-10 hours. 
Make Ahead
  • You can make this in advance and freeze it. Just be sure when you place it in the freezer it has cooled before you do. To thaw place it in the fridge the night before and reheat in a pan over medium heat.
