This was the beef stew I grew up on. It's a great low-maintenance and delicious winter favorite! It makes excellent leftovers or next day's lunch, if it doesn't disappear before then! I have included a paleo diet alteration for this recipe in the footnotes.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 1 ½ pounds cubed beef stew meat

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1 large onion, cut into 1-inch cubes

  • 1 ½ cups baby carrots

  • 1 ½ cups diced potatoes

  • 3 bay leaves

  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can tomato soup

  • 1 ½ (10.75 ounce) cans water

  • 1 tablespoon steak sauce (such as A1®)

  • 1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix (such as Lipton®)

  • ½ teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning

Directions

  1. Place beef stew meat and butter into the bottom of a slow cooker. Put onion, baby carrots, potatoes, and bay leaves atop the beef.

  2. Stir tomato soup, water, steak sauce, and onion soup mix together in bowl; pour over the beef and vegetables in the slow cooker. Sprinkle lemon pepper seasoning over the mixture.

  3. Cook on Low 8 to 10 hours.

Cook's Notes:

For my paleo-diet version, I use zucchini, squash, or cauliflower instead of potatoes. Strict paleo dieters or those avoiding sodium may choose to omit the onion soup mix or use only half of the packet.
