Experience the epitome of culinary delight with our exquisite Best Ever Beef Stew. Elevate your dining experience with the following premium ingredients:
- 2 pounds of succulent beef stew meat
- ½ cup of versatile all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon of meticulously seasoned salt
- 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
- 1 large onion, finely diced
- 2 aromatic bay leaves
- ¼ cup of Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cups of pristine water
- 2 heaping teaspoons of beef demi-glace (or the equivalent in Swanson Flavor Boost)
- 4 medium to large red-skinned potatoes, washed and diced
- 3 large carrots, meticulously peeled and sliced
- 1 stalk of celery, finely diced
Immerse yourself in the culinary journey with these meticulous steps:
- In a resealable plastic bag, coat the beef stew meat evenly with flour and seasoning salt. In a skillet, heat olive oil and brown the floured stew meat on all sides. Using a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the browned meat to the bottom of a slow cooker. Season with pepper.
- Saute the diced onion in the same skillet for 2 minutes, utilizing the residual flavors. Transfer the sauteed onions to the slow cooker.
- Pour Worcestershire sauce, water, and beef demi-glace (or Swanson Flavor Boost) into the skillet, whisking until well-mixed and ensuring the incorporation of any browned bits. Turn off the heat and set aside.
- Add the diced potatoes, carrots, celery, and bay leaves to the slow cooker. Pour the broth-Worcestershire mixture into the crockpot. Cover and let it simmer on low for 8 hours.
- Before serving, remember to remove the bay leaves, and indulge in the perfection of the Culinary Perfection Beef Stew.
