Slow Cooker Beef Recipes

Chef Meg turned a member-submitted dish into a slow cooker meal that's easy yet exotic!

Try using an English Cut Beef Roast. It is economical and flavorful. This cut of meat comes from the shoulder or neck area of the animal.

Have some beef with your beer! This special Guinness stew is easy to make, but gets a smoky depth of flavor from the tasty stout. We suggest bulking it up with extra veggies of your choice.

Incredibly simple and fantastically tasty!!

This roast is delicious and melts in your mouth and best of all, it does not have too many calories! I usually serve this with a side of grilled veggies.

Delicious and easy to make chili.

"Beef stew doesn't get any easier than in a slow cooker. Make it in the morning and leave it unattended until dinner time."

This is a great recipe that can be experimented with. I thought it was good as is. You can Try adding thyme, marjoram, a bayleafor two, ect. Or, for the best and easiest, substitue a good, proven barbecue rub for beef, like Heiffer Dust, which won "Best Rub" at the American Royal a year or two back and is available commercially.

Easy slow cooker meal for your busiest nights. Tastes great over brown rice (not included in calorie count).

A great meal to freeze in an individual serving and take to lunch with you. Lower in sodium than a frozen dinner.

The meat does not need to be seared in skillet first to make this fall-apart tender, pulled BBQ beef for sandwiches. This recipe has so much flavor no one will notice the Worcestshire sauce & the salt were deleted to reduce sodium (you may also use low-sodium catsup and BBQ to reduce sodium further). Using molasses instead of brown sugar and Worcestshire gives a depth of flavor and authenticity, while reducing sugar & sodium. It is great to take to picnics, buffets, or tailgating. Freezes well.

At just 260 calories per serving, this hearty stew will carry you straight through the winter months!

After a long day, sit down to a hearty meal of tender beef, slow-cooked carrots, and melt-in-your-mouth mushrooms and onions.

Lean Beef Chuck with red bell peppers, sweet red onions, fresh garlic, baby carrots, broccoli & pineapple all cooked in the slow cooker.

Just a quick and easy meal for the whole family.

This recipe is not quite as healthy as its Chicken Street Taco Counterpart. However, it still can be implemented and enjoyed as an occasional treat. Crockpot cooking allows us to use cheaper cuts of meat; however; there is a cost! These meats are denser, and have a higher calorie and fat count. So be sure you choose wisely. For this recipe (photo) I used a 3 lb. Beef Round Roast and froze the additional servings for a fast dinner later.

Vegetable juice brings fantastic flavor to slowly simmered Swiss Beef Roast

I came up with this variation on my own, using what I had on hand, as I usually do. I added in Curry Powder and switched out the regular flour with whole wheat, unbleached flour. I also found that Extra Lean Stew Beef is becoming more available and it comes out just as "melt-in-your-mouth" tender as the regular, more fattening stew chunks can be. My husband LOVED it and so did I, and we're picky eaters. LOL

Brisket is one of the toughest cuts of beef so it needs some help from a marinade and a slow moist cooking environment. This fork-tender dish requires almost no work from you.

Thinking quickly while grocery shopping I knew I wanted to do this stew in the crock pot and the clock was ticking! With the thought of adding spice I went with chipotles in adobo sauce to be the star flavor accompanied by the typical stew vegetables. Browning the meat before cooking helps sear in the juices, but the corn, sour cream and cilantro help balance it to a surprising level.

I had a pound of stew beef, but didn't want traditional beef stew. So, I made a take on italian white bean stew and added quinoa for added protein.

Set this up in the morning, or you can even do the dicing and chopping the night before, store potatoes covered with water. Combine in the morning, set, and come home to a satisfying home cooked meal.

Wanted something a bit different to make with stew beef. Looked at what I had in my pantry and threw a bunch together.
