• Heat the oil and butter in a large Dutch oven or heavy stock pot until hot (when you sprinkle in a few drops of water they should jump and sizzle). Add the coated beef chunks, spacing them out about 1/2 inch from each other and, working in batches so as not to overcrowd, generously brown the beef on all sides. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
• Add the onions with another tablespoon of butter to the Dutch oven (do not remove the browned/blackened bits in the bottom of the pan) and cook until soft and translucent, 5-7 minutes (add a little more oil or butter if necessary). Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the wine, bring it to a rapid boil, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan, and boil for 2 minutes or until the wine is mostly evaporated. Return the beef to the Dutch oven.

SIMPLE SLOW COOKER BEEF STEW RECIPE

Steps:

• Peel and chop the potatoes into bite-size pieces. Chop the onion, carrots (if using large whole carrots), and the celery. Place the stew meat and the vegetables into the slow cooker. Stir the gravy and seasoning mixes into 2 cups of water; then pour it over the ingredients in the slow cooker. Add more plain water to the slow cooker until the ingredients are covered. Cook covered on the high heat setting for 4 to 6 hours or on the low heat setting for 8 to 12 hours. Note: If the stew's gravy is too thin, pour some of it into a saucepan and thicken in the same manner as you would any other gravy, such as using a mixture of flour and water and adding it to the gravy; and then bringing the gravy to a boil. Add thickener and boil until the gravy is the desired thickness and then pour it back into the rest of the stew.
