  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 4 carrots, sliced

Preparation
  1. Begin by chopping all your vegetables. This means slicing the carrots, dicing the potatoes, and mincing the garlic.
  2. In a heavy skillet, brown the beef stew meat over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes to seal in the flavorful juices.
  3. Transfer the browned beef to the crock pot. Add the chopped onion, sliced carrots, diced potatoes, and minced garlic.
  4. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Add the dried thyme, bay leaf, and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Set your crock pot on low for about 7-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours.
  6. Once finished, taste and adjust the seasoning, then serve hot!

Notes

Feel free to substitute beef with halal chicken or lamb. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days or freeze for meal prep. When reheating, warm gently to maintain taste and texture.
