Step 1

Season the beef with salt and pepper and set aside.

Step 2

Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat until lightly smoking, add the butter and stew beef. Brown the beef on all sides. (Do not cook beef all the way through, just brown the outside). About 3 Minutes.

Step 3

Add the browned beef to the slow cooker pot. In a large bowl, whisk together the beef stock, garlic, cornstarch, brown gravy packet, minced onion and worcestershire sauce. Pour over the beef and cook on low for 5-6 hours.

Step 4

Beef will be down when fork tender and the gravy has thickened.

Step 5

Serve over mashed potatoes, rice or egg noodles. Enjoy!
