Instructions

Gather all ingredients on your counter for easy access.
Season beef cubes with salt and pepper. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté onions in olive oil until translucent (about 5 minutes). Add minced garlic last to avoid burning.
Transfer sautéed onions and garlic to the crockpot. Add cubed beef, carrots, potatoes, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme sprigs, bay leaf, salt, and pepper.
Pour beef broth over the mixture until just covered. Stir gently.
Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours until beef is fork-tender and vegetables are soft.
Taste before serving; adjust seasoning as needed. Remove bay leaves before serving.
