Ingredients
- 3 pounds stew beef or cubed chuck roast
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ cups beef broth
- 10.5 ounces canned French onion soup
- 1 teaspoon browning sauce
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 packet dry beef gravy mix
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 bay leaf
Instructions
- Season the beef on all sides with the salt.
- Heat a large skillet over high heat and add the oil. Once the oil is hot, add the beef in a single layer, working in batches if necessary, and brown on all sides, about 3-5 minutes. There's no need to cook the beef through.
- Transfer the beef to a 6 quart slow cooker.
- Whisk together the beef broth, onion soup, cornstarch, Worcestershire sauce, dry gravy mix, and garlic powder. Pour over the beef.
- Add the bay leaf and cover the crockpot.
- Cook on low for 5-6 hours or until beef is tender and gravy has thickened.
- Remove bay leaf, add the browning sauce, stir and taste, and season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
- Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles.

Notes
- Browning sauce is optional, but does help give the gravy a deep, rich color. You can leave it out entirely or add in extra Worcestershire sauce to replace it.
- All slow cookers cook differently. The goal here is to get tender chunks of beef. If the beef is not tender, keep cooking until it is.
