Beef Stew in Crockpot

October 25, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 19 Comments

Hi Everyone and Happy Thursday!

I can’t believe how fast time is going.  I was reading another blog this morning and they said less than one month till Thanksgiving!!  Holy Crappers!!!  Once Turkey Day is here, it’s all over, we will officially be in Christmas mode!  But one thing I like about Turkey Day is shopping Black Friday!  Yah, I know who goes out on that day?  I have a secret hiding spot that no one really knows about, so I get all my shopping done by 9am!  Then I go to breakfast to my favorite Bistro and then head to Target because the crowd will be gone.  Yup, that’s my Black Friday!  I can’t believe I am even talking about that!!  Do you shop Black Friday?

Since I am in the Fall mode, I have also been craving hearty comfort food!  I think you can tell from this weeks recipes, like Wally’s Beef Chili, Skinny Vanilla Lattes and now Beef Stew!!  Not to toot my own horn, but I have to admit this is the best beef stew that I have made!  My Husband agreed with me!  We ate the whole pot and that’s four servings!!  It’s chock full of tri-tip steak, potatoes, carrots, onion, carrots and tomatoes!  For the seasoning I used Worcestershire sauce, paprika  thyme, garlic powder and bay leaves.  Oh my gosh was it good!!  It’s so easy to make to!!!


The hardest thing about making this dish was the smell.  I was home from work that day when I made this and it made the house smell so good!  Kind of like when you go to Mom’s or Grandma’s house and you walk in there home to that warm, comforting smell.  Yup, this stew does that!!!  I promise if you try this recipe, you won’t be disappointed!

Since I was home that day my Husband sent me a text asking me if I wanted to go to dinner to celebrate our 7th year wedding anniversary and I told him my phone was off and I didn’t get his message, and I told him I didn’t want to go to dinner.  He asked why? I told him I had dinner cooking.  He was disappointed and asked in a sad voice what are we having?  I told him Beef Stew, oh my gosh did his tone of his voice change.  He was thrilled.  It’s one of those dishes that I don’t make to often.  Since my Husband is a meat and potatoes kind of guy I thought I would surprise him with this dish for our anniversary.  I know it’s not romantic, but he loves it and that’s all that counts!!!

We served this dish with a side of rye bread!  For some reason we like dipping buttered rye bread into our stews and chili’s.  Some how it’s a perfect match!  What I find weird is my Husband HATES wheat bread, yet he loves rye bread.  He says it’s his favorite and our rye bread is made with wheat.  I really did marry a strange guy!!  lol

    I love reading your blog every day – you’re such a refreshing, genuine person. Happy Anniversary to you! 🙂 question: do you think I could use a whole chuck roast for this instead of cubed tip roast, and just shred the meat after it’s cooked, then stir it back up with the potatoes/carrots/sauce?

      October 25, 2012 at 7:17 AM

      Thank you so much! :). Yes chuck roast will work great inn this recipe. I have used it before. You could also shred it right in the pot, the meat will fall apart. I use two forks and pull apart the meat for easy shredding. Let me know if u make it and if you like it. Have a great day!

        made it in the crockpot today, and BOY it was AMAZING! the only minor adjustments I made were: 1/2 cup beef broth and 1/2 cup red wine (instead of 1 cup beef broth), fresh thyme (I had it on hand), diced potato (cheaper than small), and seasoned the beef with roast seasoning. SOOO good. can’t WAIT to have this for leftovers for the next few days! thank you for a GREAT recipe, Jen – this is a keeper as far as crockpot beef stew! 😉

          I love the idea of using wine in the stew. I bet it tasted amazing! I don’t use wine for cooking much because I hate to waste it, I never end up using a whole bottle, but I might with the stew! I love that idea!!

            it WAS amazing! you’re right though, when you don’t use much there’s a lot left. we remedy that by drinking it with the stew. red wine and beef are a match made in heaven, after all 🙂 thanks again!

            You have convinced me! I need to make a beef dish using red wine! I haven’t had that combo in a looooong time! I think this weekend!! Thanks!! 🙂

    I don’t shop black friday. I stay home and cook. The crowds are just too much for me. Your stew looks yummy. I would like to curl up with a blanket and a good book and eat it at the same time. Pure comfort food right there!

Happy Tuesday!! Another dreary day at the Bay! I k Happy Tuesday!! Another dreary day at the Bay! I know I complain about the weather a lot, but this seriously blows my mind in how crappy it is here. I need to get into the garden. It’s my happy place.
🐰
Today I am sharing with you a spring vignette that I created. I just love tulips this time of year. Though, they seem to be out all year at Trader Joe’s, which is kind of strange. I can’t wait until they get peonies and lilacs. My two favorites.
🐰
The candles are from my friends @goldhillcandleco. They are hand poured, 100% soy and have a wooden wick. They smell so fresh and clean. These two candles are from the March subscription box. I highly recommend.
🐰
Have the best day and I hope the sun is shining where you live!!

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleanin Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleaning this weekend. I wanted to give my kitchen counters the less is more look.
🫧
I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.
🫧
I used @cloth.bristle to clean my kitchen counters and sink. I love cleaning my sink with it. It makes it so sparkly and smells good too! Love that it’s all natural.

Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is Happy Friday! Our next winter storm is here! It is just awful out there. Heavy rain, high winds and hail. This is not a winter that we are used to in California.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol

Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll Happy Monday!! Hope you had a nice weekend! I’ll be honest, I great intentions on decorating my house this weekend, but with the rain and cold, I got pretty lazy. I had packages that were supposed to arrive last week, but with the winter storms here on the west coast, my packages seem to be stuck in Nevada. This weather is so crazy!
🌸
Here is my little corner of my living room with a little pop of spring. Sorry about the lighting. With this weather, photographing is not easy.
🌸
I added a pillow that I got from Target and a white blanket I already had on hand. I of course had to add some bunnies. The wooden bunny with the flowers is from my friend Abby @ittybittycottage.

Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather Happy Wednesday! We are getting such crazy weather. We are having extreme winds again and boy is it cold out. It’s only in the 30’s right now and tomorrows high is in the 40’s. Normally by now I am planting seeds in the ground and prepping for Spring gardening. I don’t see that happening anytime soon. Where’s the California Spring weather?
🐰
Since we don’t have Spring outside, I thought I would bring Spring in the house. I bought my first fresh bouquet of tulips. Aren’t they pretty? This makes me so happy. Plus I couldn’t resist bringing the bunnies out. They seemed to have multiplied since last Spring. lol
🐰
This Spring vignette was inspired by the beautiful welcome sign from @krumpetshomedecor. I love the bead handle and the cute little bunny on it. The sign is reversible, swipe to see other side. So you can use it all year. It would be beautiful in an entry, guest bedroom and on your front porch.
