Best Ever Beef Stew
Love a good beef stew, and this sounds pretty good. I cannot vouch for this being 'best ever' but it does sound good.

Cuisine American
- 1 kilo beef, any cut, cut into 1 inch cubes
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- olive oil, as needed
- 1 large onion, diced
- 2 bay leaves
- 1/4 cup Worcherstershire sauce
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons beef stock powder
- 4 potatoes, diced large
- 2 carrots, sliced
- 1 stalk celery, import, diced
- black pepper, as needed
Shake the beef in a resealable plastic bag with the flour, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder until evenly coated. Heat a splash of olive oil in a skillet then add the floured beef to the pan and brown on all sides. Remove using a slotted spoon or tongs and place into the bottom of your slow cooker. Season with pepper as desired.
Saute the diced onion in the same hot skillet for 2 minutes. Don't worry about cleaning it out in between, that's added flavor! Transfer the onions into the slow cooker as well.
Pour the Worcestershire sauce, water, beef stock powder into the same skillet and whisk until mixed. Remove from heat and set aside.
Add the diced potatoes, carrots, celery, bay leaves to the slow cooker. Now, pour the mixture from the skillet into the slow cooker. Cover, cook on Low setting for 8 hours. Remove the bay leaves before serving.
The beef would cost about 200 Baht/kilo. For 6 servings, this is about 98 cents per serving.
