Begin by generously seasoning the cubed beef chuck roast with salt and black pepper, ensuring each piece is well-coated.

In the bottom of your slow cooker, layer the chopped carrots, cubed potatoes, and diced yellow onion.

Next, carefully layer the seasoned beef on top of the vegetable mixture in the Crock Pot.

In a separate bowl, combine high-quality beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, dried thyme, and bay leaf.

Pour the liquid mixture evenly over the layered beef and vegetables in the slow cooker.

Set your slow cooker to low and let it cook for 8 hours, or until the beef becomes fork-tender.

Once the cooking time is complete, carefully remove the bay leaf from your Crock Pot Beef Stew. Serve hot.
