Slow Cooker Beef in Onion Gravy

 

Ingredients

– 2 pounds beef stew meat, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces

– 1 packet dry onion soup mix (about 1 ounce)

– 1 can (10.5 ounces) of condensed cream of mushroom soup

– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for thickening)

– 1/4 cup water

– 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

– Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Preparation

1. Begin by placing the stew meat into your slow cooker.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the onion soup mix, condensed cream of mushroom soup, flour, water, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined.

3. Pour this allure of seasonings and liquid over the beef in the slow cooker, making sure to coat the meat evenly.

4. Sprinkle in some freshly ground black pepper to taste, giving it one final, loving stir.

5. Set your slow cooker to low and forget about it for about 8 hours, or switch it to high and cook for about 4-5 hours, until the meat is fork-tender and the flavors have cozied up together beautifully.

6. Give everything a gentle stir before serving. Then, ladle generous helpings of beef and that rich onion gravy over whatever side has caught your fancy.
