Okra is one of my all-time favorite comfort foods. There’s something delicious about biting into the tender okra skin and then having the seeds pop in your mouth. This stew is incredibly simple and easy to make in the slow cooker.
Note: This stew is much, much tastier with fresh okra. But fresh okra can be tricky to find, depending on where you live. Canned or frozen okra can be subbed if fresh is not available.
1 pound beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tablespoon olive oil
dash of sea salt
dash of black pepper
4 cloves Garlic, minced
1 cup Baby Carrots, sliced lengthwise and crosswise
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 pound Okra
3 Tomatoes, chopped
1 cup chicken broth
½ teaspoon Dried Oregano
½ teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon Dried Thyme
⅛ teaspoon ground allspice
2 tablespoons tomato paste
In a skillet over medium-high heat, combine the beef, olive oil, sea salt, and pepper. Sear the meat then remove from heat.
Combine all of the ingredients in a slow cooker. Mix well. Cover and cook on high for 6 hours. Enjoy!
