If you’re a fan of bold, savory flavor, this A1 Beef Stew is a must-try twist on the classic—hearty, rich, and full of comforting goodness.
Do you like A.1. Steak Sauce on your steak? Then I think you will enjoy how well the A.1. goes in this stew. This stew has a the usual carrots and onions, then I add a bell pepper for flavor. There is no potatoes in this recipe, instead I serve this over hot rice. I love homemade beef stew and I am happy to have new variation.
Key Ingredients
- Beef stew meat, flour-coated and browned for flavor
- A1 steak sauce for a rich, savory kick
- Beef broth, onion, garlic, and bay leaf
- Hearty veggies: baby carrots and bell pepper
- Simple seasoning: salt, pepper, oregano
Cook’s Notes
Don’t skip browning the meat—it adds so much extra flavor to the finished stew.
A quick paper towel trick helps remove excess grease before serving. Just lay one over the surface, lift, and discard.
No potatoes in this recipe—on purpose! It’s designed to be served over hot rice, which soaks up the sauce beautifully.
Serving Ideas
Spoon over steamed rice or buttery mashed potatoes.
A slice of crusty bread or cornbread on the side makes this a filling meal.
Top with ground pepper or some shredded cheddar cheese.

How to Video
Ingredients
- 2 lbs. beef stew meat,, cubed
- 2 Tbsp. cooking oil
- ¼ cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. pepper
- 1 tsp. dried oregano
- 14.5 oz. can beef broth
- 1 white onion, diced large
- 1 bell pepper, diced large
- 1 lb. baby carrots
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- ¼ cup A1 steak sauce
- 1 bay leaf
Instructions
- In a large bowl or ziplock bag add the flour, salt, pepper and oregano. Add the beef stew meat. Stir to coat the meat, or seal and shake the bag to coat the meat.
- Set a large skillet on the stove top and set to medium-high heat. When the pan is hot add the oil. Let the oil heat up then add the flour coated stew meat. brown on all sides, no need to cook all the way though. Add the can of beef broth to the pan and using the spatula scrape up the browned bits off the bottom of the pan. After the beef broth comes to a boil, remove from heat and add the meat and sauce to the slow cooker. Add remaining ingredients. Stir.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time.
- Discard bay leaf. If desired, degrease the stew. I do this by laying a paper over the stew and lift up, the grease will grab to the paper towel. Serve and enjoy.

Geez, is that true? It looks like a good recipe and I’m going to give it a try this weekend. I may skip the flour to make a little less calories per serving.
I understand that baby carrots in the bag are treated with bleach to take the rough skin off them.
This was a viral conspiracy theory that is decidedly false. The carrots are washed in water with ~3-4ppm chlorine in it for sanitization. For reference, ~3-4 ppm is about what you’ll find in your average well-maintained swimming pool, and chlorine is also found in many municipal water supplies at ~1-3ppm concentration because it has been found to be perfectly safe.
