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?

      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 Wednesday! This past weekend I did a little Happy Wednesday! This past weekend I did a little furniture rearranging in my dining room. I decided to move my kitchen cart to the opposite side of my room, and I love it in its new spot. 
🍂
If you remember, I fixed the nail holes in this wall, so I could hang a normal picture. I love how centered my nail is. lol It’s the little things.
🍂
Now before anyone says anything. I covered my light switch with my picture. I never use it, so it doesn’t effect me. 
🍂
Speaking of pictures, how gorgeous is my sign from @krumpetshomedecor? It’s a fabulous size and I am calling it the moving sign. If you watched my reel last week, you will see that I used the spider side of the sign in my kitchen. I thought the fall side would be perfect in my dining room. Now I actually plan to move the sign again to my living room when I bring out the Fall bins. I have an idea in my head.
🍂
This little area of my home is what I am calling my transition from summer to fall. I have a little bit of rich end of summer colors with natural woods and my leaves. 
🍂
The falling leaves reversible sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code: PBANDP. Link in my bio.
🍂
What is your favorite Fall color?
.
PS. I think I got the big C 🦠. So I’ll be slow getting back to you.

Hello Everyone! I have to apologize for not to get Hello Everyone! I have to apologize for not to getting to everyone’s comments yesterday. I am still working on them. I was a little overwhelmed yesterday. Typical Monday. Plus to boot my husband got the big “C”🦠 So I have been dealing with that. 
🌼
I thought I would share with you a very simple way of styling a bowl. It would be beautiful on an entry, console or dining room table. The bowl is from the Targets Studio McGee line.
🌼
Hope you have the best day.

Happy Monday! I know this is not decor, but today Happy Monday! I know this is not decor, but today is Samuels 1st birthday. I couldn’t resist showing his first year on Earth.
🐾
If you remember, I didn’t want another dog when Sampson passed last August, but Samuel was a blessing in disguise. He has helped me heal. 
🐾
I will be back tomorrow with decor. Have a wonderful Monday!

Happy Wednesday! I have to tell you that I am so e Happy Wednesday! I have to tell you that I am so excited that we put the dog crate away. It took up so much room in the kitchen and now it looks so open. I just wish my kitchen was wide enough for an island.
👻
I didn’t lose my mind decorating for Halloween. However @krumpetshomedecor is having there Fall and Halloween launch. So much fun! The sign above the door is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. It is a gorgeous one. I just love both sides. I used the Halloween side right now  because it matches my coffee bar. Plus I feel that way when people come to my home with my dogs. lol

Happy Tuesday! I thought I would share one last lo Happy Tuesday! I thought I would share one last look at the guest bathroom before the Fall season arrives. Pretty soon it will be filled with pumpkins.
💙
I actually have not changed any of the decor in the bathroom since February of this year. I love how it looks and didn’t want to change it.
💙
The plants in the tub were in my living room, but with having puppies, they were eating them and they are poisonous, so I put them in the tub and they have survived and doing well.
💙
The rug on the floor is from @studiomoutdoor. It’s a vinyl rug that is so perfect for cleaning up after the dogs. Plus they don’t eat these rugs! Yes, they have eaten all the rugs in my house, except for the dining room rug. Sigh….
💙
Do you have a room in your house that you don’t want to redecorate because you like it the way it is?

Happy Monday! Boy this weekend flew by and I didn’t get much done around the house. Though I am slowly starting to put away some summer stuff. 
🍋
But before putting away the lemons, I had to do a summer tiered tray. I haven’t made a tiered tray in months. I love how light and bright it is. It matches my kitchen nicely.

Happy Friday Eve! So happy it’s almost the weeke Happy Friday Eve! So happy it’s almost the weekend. This Saturday we have to take the dogs to the vet. Oh man! That’s a thing. The dogs drop dead on the driveway and refuse to go in the car. They do this going there and back. It’s a comedy scene, and so embarrassing. Not fun! lol
💙
I put together a little vignette for my kitchen counter. You are probably thinking, she always shares the kitchen. It’s because I do my day job at the kitchen counter and I get all these new ideas in my head and I just have to share. 
💙
I am loving the blue with the yellow and the green. It feels light and fresh. I also love my new candle from @candleberrycandle the scent is Bergamot Amber. It maybe my favorite scent from the collection. The scent is a mix of blue amber and oak with a vibrant burst of citrus and exotic florals. 
💙
Now through July 22nd Candleberry is having a pre-sale on the new Nouveau candle line. The official launch is August 1st. If you sign up for emails you get 15% off. 
💙
Disclosure: do not burn your candles under your cabinets. I did this to show the candle. I always burn my candles in an open area. 
💙
What are your weekend plans?

Happy Wednesday! I am excited to finally share wit Happy Wednesday! I am excited to finally share with you my coffee bar. I kept starting to decorate it, then I’d get stuck and then the season would change and there it would sit for months bare. lol
☕️
I love the new look. It’s simple, has what we need and looks light and fresh. My husband actually noticed and said it was his favorite coffee bar yet. Then brings up how he hates the white fluffy stuff I use on the shelves for Christmas. I told him, I’m using the snow again this winter. He gives me the look.
☕️
The Coffee sign is from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s reversible and I think the perfect addition to my coffee bar. The color and style go fabulous with my decor pieces. 
☕️
The sign is also the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get an additional 10% off with code PBANDP. The link is in my bio.

Hi Everybody! Happy #tiptuesday. I am sharing with Hi Everybody! Happy #tiptuesday. I am sharing with you a simple way to make your floral displays last longer. I learned this trick from a local florist.
🌸
Ingredients:
4 cups of water (1 liter)
3 tbsp. Sugar
2 tbsp. Distilled Vinegar

Add sugar and vinegar to water. Stir until dissolved. Add flowers. Try to take off as many leaves as possible.
🌸
The sugar nourishes the flowers and the vinegar will stop bacteria growth.
🌸
After I put this arrangement together, I decided to take out the yellow flowers and cut the bouquet down a little. I think it looks better. I bought these flowers from the farmers market.
