Steps:
- Toss the beef, flour, and salt in a sealable bag until the beef is coated.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Combine the beef and Worcestershire sauce in the skillet; cook until the beef is evenly browned on all sides; transfer to a slow cooker, but do not clean the skillet. Add the carrots, potatoes, parsley, and pepper to the slow cooker.
- Combine the boiling water and soup mix in a small bowl; add to slow cooker.
- Melt the butter in the skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the onion and garlic in the melted butter until soft; transfer the onion and garlic to the slow cooker and return the skillet to the heat. Combine the wine and mushrooms to the skillet; cook until the mushrooms begin to absorb the wine; pour the mixture into the slow cooker.
- Place the cover on the slow cooker and set to High; cook for one hour. Reduce heat to Low and cook until the beef is fork-tender, 6 to 8 hours. Whisk together the warm water and cornstarch; stir into the stew; cook uncovered until stew thickens, about 15 minutes.

With the weather cooling down this recipe worked it's way into my kitchen today. The recipe probably came from a little inspiration from dad, an old recipe book and flavors that I think of in the early Fall.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat large crockpot on low heat. Preheat large skillet on medium/high heat on stovetop with oil.
- 2. Cut beef into 1 1/4 inch cubes, In large mixing bowl combine beef cubes, worcestershire sauce, italian seasoning, garlic powder and red pepper flake. Let soak for a few minutes then dredge the beef tips in flour to coat liberally.
- 3. Brown beef in heated skillet for approximately 5-7 minutes stirring so that all sides are browned. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
- 4. While pan is still hot deglaze with 1C water. Scrape drippings from the bottom of the skillet and add the drippings to the preheated crockpot.
- 5. Peel and dice the carrots, peel and half the onion and slice, chop celery, dice the potatoes (peeling is optional). If potatoes are russets I prefer to peel them.
- 6. Add the vegetables to the crockpot. Add the beef, stewed tomatoes, the second cup of water, dry onion soup mix, and bay leaf, cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours. *I replace 1C of the water in this recipe with beer and it really amps it up!
- 7. The flour dusted on the beef in step 2 usually thickens this stew enough but If you need to thicken a bit - 30 minutes prior to serving combine corn starch and 1/2C cold water add to the bubbling stew broth. Should be like a gravy sauce when served.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use a combination of chuck roast and short ribs.
- Brown the meat in batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
- Use a large pot or Dutch oven to accommodate all of the ingredients.
- Add vegetables such as carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes for a hearty and flavorful stew.
- Use a good quality red wine for added depth of flavor.
- Simmer the stew for at least 1 hour, or until the meat is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
- Serve the stew with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or crusty bread.
