Step 1

Cut beef into 1 1/2 to 2-inch chunks, cutting off excess fat.

Add soup mix, mushroom soup, beef consume, thyme, and pepper to crock pot and mix together.

Step 3

Add beef chunks and stir to coat. Cover and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours.

Melt butter in a medium pot and add flour. Whisk until all of the flour is mixed into the butter. Gradually whisk in the 2 cups of cooking liquid from the crock pot. Bring to a simmer and remove from heat. If you want a thinner gravy, add more liquid.
