This Cajun beef stew has been a family favorite for as long as I can remember.

It’s a comforting slow cooker beef stew recipe with a bit of a kick from Cajun spice. It’s so darn good!

Ingredients for Slow Cooker Cajun Beef Stew

  • 1/4 cup Caribbean jerk marinade
  • 1 1/2 pounds beef stew meat
  • 4-6 medium red potatoes, cut into chunks
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1 or 2 Tbsp Cajun seasoning (depends on how spicy you like it)
  • 1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup onions, chopped
  • 3 cups bell peppers in a variety of colors, chopped. (May substitute a 16-oz bag of frozen stir-fry bell peppers and onions, but fresh veggies make a huge difference.)

How to make Cajun beef stew in the slow cooker

Put beef in a resealable plastic bag or a dish; coat well with marinade. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes in the fridge. I let mine marinate overnight.

Spray inside of slow cooker with cooking spray. Place potatoes inside.

Mix ingredients together and continue cooking on low for about an hour to let flavors mingle and veggies tenderize.

I like it served over rice but occasionally, I’ll serve it over noodles. I also like to warm up a bakery loaf of French of Italian bread for dunking and sopping up the broth. Yum!

Time-saving prep tips

  • Chop the veggies the night before and store in the fridge’s crisper drawer in a container or sealed plastic bag.
  • Marinate the beef the night before and store in the fridge.
  • I don’t chop my potatoes in advance as potatoes tend to turn an unappealing gray color as they oxidize. However, I’ve heard that cut potatoes stored in water in the fridge will hold for about 24 hours but I’ve never tried it, so proceed at your own risk. 

Whether you choose to serve it over rice, or enjoy it alone as a stew, this hearty and flavorful Cajun beef stew is wonderfully satisfying.
