Ingredients

Directions

  1. Pat the cubed stewing beef dry with paper towels and season generously with salt, pepper, and dried mixed herbs if using.
  2. Coat the seasoned beef cubes lightly in flour, shaking off any excess.
  3. Heat oil or lard in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  4. Brown the beef cubes in batches, ensuring not to crowd the pan, until seared on all sides.
  5. Remove the browned beef from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  6. In the same skillet, add the thinly sliced onions and sauté until softened and slightly golden, about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Transfer the sautéed onions to the bottom of the slow cooker.
  8. Place the browned beef cubes on top of the onions in the slow cooker.
  9. Add the sliced mushrooms over the beef.
  10. Pour the can of tomato soup or beef stock evenly over the meat and vegetables.
  11. Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low for 8-10 hours or on High for 4-5 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.
  12. Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed before serving.
