Ingredients

2 pounds beef chuck (cut into 1-inch cubes)
4 medium carrots (sliced)
4 medium potatoes (diced)

3 cloves garlic (minced)
4 cups beef broth

1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

Season beef cubes with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium-high heat, sear the beef until browned on all sides.
Transfer the beef to a crock pot. Add sliced carrots, diced potatoes, chopped onion, and minced garlic.
In a bowl, whisk together beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf; pour over the meat and vegetables.

For a thicker stew, mix cornstarch with water to create a slurry; stir into the stew during the last 30 minutes of cooking.
Discard the bay leaf before serving warm.
