Directions: |
Directions:After cutting the meat and while it is still on the cutting board, toss it with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef in singe layer (work in 2 batches if needed) to the hot skillet and let cook for approximately 2 minutes, without stirring. Let it cook until it has a nice sear/crust on one side (this will give it a lot of flavor). then continue to cook while stirring until beef is browned all over but not cooked all the way through. Transfer beef to 6-quart slow cooker and top with chopped onions and minced garlic. To the remaining juices left in the skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Whisk in the flour until dissolved. Add in the remaining gravy ingredients. Bring this to a boil then reduce to a simmer until thickened to the consistency of thick gravy. Make sure you let it get thick enough because it will thin out a bit in the slow cooker. Add to slow cooker and stir it to combine all ingredients. Cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours or on LOW for 5-7 hours. Beef is ready when it is melt-in-your-mouth tender. Add additional salt and pepper, if needed. Garnish with fresh, chopped parsley for color. Serve over mashed potatoes, egg noodles or rice. |
