Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 pounds stew meat or chuck roast cut into 1 inch cubes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
  • 12 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 3 Tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Chunk meat into 1 inch cubes, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder

  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat, and add beef to skillet, browning it on all sides, but do not cook throughout. I like to use thongs to pick up the meat to sear on all sides. Transfer beef to a 6-QT crock pot. Leave juices in the skillet for the next step.

  3. Add 2 tablespoons butter, to the juices in skillet, and add in your onions, minced garlic and mushrooms. Quick sauté for 3-5 minutes until mushrooms start to release their juices. Transfer mushrooms, onions, garlic, and any juices to the crockpot and stir in with the beef

  4. Add beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce to the crockpot and stir all the ingredients together

  5. Place lid on slow cooker, and cook on high for 3-4 hours or on low for 5-7 hours, until beef is tender. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper as needed

  6. 30 minutes before it is done cooking, mix together in a small bowl the water and cornstarch. Stir it into the crockpot and allow it to thicken

  7. Serve over mashed potatoes or pasta
