Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add seasoned beef chunks and sear for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden-brown. Remove and set aside.
  2. Add diced yellow onion and minced garlic to the same pan. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until onion is translucent.
  3. Stir in tomato paste and Italian seasoning; cook for 1 minute. Pour in beef broth to deglaze the pan and combine with beef.
  4. Add prepared vegetables, excluding frozen peas. Pour remaining beef broth over vegetables.
  5. Cook in slow cooker on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours. For oven, preheat to 350°F and cook for 2 hours.
  6. Stir in frozen peas and cook uncovered until heated through; about 15 minutes in slow cooker; 5 minutes on the stove.
  7. Dissolve glucomannan with cold water and whisk into stew until desired thickness is achieved.
