INSTRUCTIONS
1. Shake the beef stew meat in a resealable plastic bag with the flour & seasoning salt until
evenly coated. Heat the olive oil in a skillet; add the floured stew meat to the pan & brown on all
sides. Remove using a slotted spoon or tongs & place into the bottom of a slow cooker. Season
with pepper.
2. Saute the diced onion in the same hot skillet for 2 minutes. Don’t worry about cleaning it
out in between – that’s added flavor! Transfer the onions into the slow cooker as well. Pour the
Worcestershire sauce, water, & beef demi glace (or Swanson Flavor Boost or Better than
Bouillon) into the skillet and whisk until mixed, making sure you scrape up any browned bits in
the bottom of the pan. Turn off the heat & set aside.
3. Add the diced potatoes, carrots, celery, & bay leaves to the slow cooker. Now, pour the
broth/Worcestershire mixture in the crockpot as well. Cover; cook on low for 8 hours. Remove
the bay leaves before serving.
