Place the prepped stew meat in the slow cooker.
Pour the beef broth over the stew meat in the slow cooker.
Next, add the chopped onion, carrots, celery, chopped garlic, and the potatoes to the slow cooker and combine everything together. Add in the cornstarch and combine again. The cornstarch acts as a thickening agent.
Add the Bay Leaf to the top of the strew. You'll remove the Bay Leaf from the stew once it's all cooked.
Cover, and cook on the medium setting for 6-8 hours, depending on your slow cooker settings.
