Culinary Perfection Beef Stew Recipe

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:

1. 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.
2. Saute the diced onion in the same skillet for 2 minutes, utilizing the residual flavors. Transfer the sauteed onions to the slow cooker.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Before serving, remember to remove the bay leaves, and indulge in the perfection of the Culinary Perfection Beef Stew.
