Browning the beef is crucial for developing a rich, deep flavor in the stew. Don't skip this step! Feel free to substitute other vegetables based on your preference. Celery, parsnips, or turnips would also be delicious additions. If you prefer a thinner stew, omit the cream of mushroom soup or add additional beef broth to reach your desired consistency. For best results, use a good quality beef broth. Homemade is ideal, but a low-sodium store-bought option will also work well. This stew is even better the next day, as the flavors continue to meld and deepen overnight.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, and pepper. Season the beef cubes generously with additional salt and pepper. Press the beef into the seasoned flour, ensuring each piece is well-coated, then shake off any excess flour. (5 minutes)
02
Step
20 mins
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, brown the beef cubes on all sides. Transfer the browned beef to a slow cooker. Add the mushrooms, onion, and carrot to the skillet used for browning the beef. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to the slow cooker. Pour about 1 cup of beef broth into the skillet, stirring to dissolve any browned bits from the bottom. Pour this flavorful liquid into the slow cooker. (20 minutes)
03
Step
10 mins
In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the remaining beef broth and the dry brown gravy mix until smooth. Bring the gravy to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour the thickened gravy into the slow cooker. Stir in the cubed potato, frozen peas, corn, lima beans, and green beans. For a richer, creamier stew, stir in the condensed cream of mushroom soup. (10 minutes)
04
Step
8 hrs
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat until the beef is very tender, about 4-8 hours, depending on your slow cooker. Check for tenderness after 4 hours; if the beef is not yet tender, continue cooking until it reaches the desired consistency. (4-8 hours)
