INGREDIENTS:
2 pounds of beef stew meat
One-half cup of all-purpose flour
One tablespoon of salt for seasoning
Two teaspoons of olive oil
Half a teaspoon of black pepper
One big onion, chopped
Two bay leaves
Worcestershire sauce, ¼ cup
Two cups of water
Two generous cups of beef demi-glace (also known as beef Swanson Flavor Boost)
Four large to medium red-skinned potatoes, cleaned and chopped
Three big carrots, cut and peeled
One celery stem, chopped
INSTRUCTIONS:
Coat the beef stew meat evenly with flour and seasoned salt by shaking it in a resealable plastic bag. Add the floured stew meat to a skillet with heated olive oil and brown it on all sides. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, remove and put in the bottom of a slow cooker. Add pepper for seasoning.
In the same hot skillet, sauté the chopped onion for two minutes. It adds flavor, so don’t bother about washing it out in between! Add the onions as well to the slow cooker. Whisk together the Worcestershire sauce, water, and beef demi glace (or Swanson Flavor Boost) in the skillet, scraping out any browned parts in the bottom. Switch off the heat and put it away.
To the slow cooker, add the chopped celery, carrots, potatoes, and bay leaves. Additionally, add the Worcestershire mixture and broth to the crockpot. Cover and cook for 8 hours on low heat. Before serving, take off the bay leaves.
