Prepare Vegetables: While the beef is browning, chop the carrots, potatoes, onion, and garlic.
Layer Ingredients: In the slow cooker, add the browned beef, followed by the chopped vegetables.
Mix Broth and Seasonings: In a separate bowl, combine the beef broth, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, rosemary, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Combine in Slow Cooker: Pour the broth mixture over the beef and vegetables in the slow cooker. Stir gently to combine.
