We don't eat beef very often in our house, so when we do I make sure to make a meal that highlights the beef and brings out the great flavor.

What better way to do that than with a delicious and hearty Beef Stew.

After the beef has been cooking all day it basically falls apart in your mouth and the flavor is just astounding.

Potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, beef, and creamy gravy, not sure it gets much better than that!

This was also a really easy meal to make gluten free.  Most gluten free flours I have tried work great when you need to just thicken up a soup or gravy and it worked beautifully for this recipe as well.

My go to for thickening soups and gravy is usually Bobs Red Mill Gluten Free Brown Rice Flour because I usually have that on hand for a lot of other recipes. Gluten free all purpose flour or cornstarch should work well too.

I usually like to brown up the beef a bit in a pan before adding everything to the slow cooker.

This gives the beef a nice sear and additional flavor that you don't get from just slow cooking.

If you don't have time to do that or just aren't feeling up to it, this beef stew is still so delicious just throwing everything in the slow cooker and letting it cook all day.

I would love to hear about some yummy meals that you make that showcase beef.

Some of my favorites are this beef stew, shepherd's pie, and of course a good ole fashioned hamburger every now and then.

I hope you enjoy this beef stew as much as my family does!
