🍳 Instructions

1. Prep the Beef

In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Add beef pieces and toss until fully coated.
Shake off excess flour.

2. Load the Slow Cooker

Place sliced onions at the bottom.
Add the flour-coated beef on top.

3. Add the Liquid

Pour beef broth and Worcestershire sauce over the meat.
Add thyme if you want a more savory depth.

4. Slow Cook

Cover and cook:

• Low for 7–8 hours

• High for 4–5 hours

Beef will be fall-apart tender, and the broth will become a thick, luscious gravy.

5. Finish & Serve

Stir in butter at the end for extra richness (optional).
Serve over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.

⭐ Tips for Success

• Browning the beef before slow cooking is optional but adds extra flavor.

• If the gravy gets too thick, add a splash of broth.

• Add carrots or mushrooms during the last 2 hours of cooking for a full meal.
