My hubby loved it and that's a big deal! It has a very beefy flavor! Add beef and all other ingredients to slow cooker, along with juices from pot.

Provide lean cut of beef, cut into tiny cubes (I use already cut stir fry meat. It saves time).
You need potatoes, cut in bite sized cubes.
Provide chopped baby carrots.
Prepare beef or veggie broth.
Prepare flour.
You need Tony Chachere's Creole Brown Gravy Mix (or a dry packet of brown gravy mix).
Use worchestershire sauce.
Use onion powder.
Use minced garlic.
Use paprika.
Prepare bay leaves.
You need basil.
You need to prepare oil.
You need butter.
Provide salt or salt alternative.

Short Tips:

Do not concern about sharp knives. Can they give you a nasty cut? absolutely. However dull knives are constantly verified to be more dangerous because they are more prone to slip when cutting, which makes the chance of cutting yourself higher. If you commit to keeping knives sharp, you must also find out how to properly hold a chef’s knife, as well as how to hold the food you’re cutting.

Put flour in a large bowl, then roll the beef cubes in the flour until fully coated..
Heat oil in a pan or deep skillet. Once oil is hot, place flour-coated beef in pan. Turn beef frequently until it starts lightly browning. (flour will start looking "gooey". That's fine, so don't worry).
Transfer lightly browned beef to a pot. Add potatoes, carrots, garlic, butter and broth. Stir..
Add worchestershire sauce, gravy mix, basil, bay leaves, paprika, onion powder and salt. Stir again..
Heat on high until boiling, then cover and reduce to simmer for 30 minutes..
Let cool slightly to help it thicken, then serve! Enjoy! (can be served with biscuits or cornbread on the side.).
~VARIATIONS~ . You can add different items, such as: mushrooms, peas, onion, corn . Potato flakes can be used to thicken further, if desired. . Butter can be omitted, but helps lend to the richness..

Mix together flour, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper in a freezer bag or large bowl. Toss beef in flour mixture to lightly coat it. Serve with green salad and crusty, buttery bread - so, so good. Introducing my newest comfort food love: BEEF STEW. That can be made in an Instant Pot.
