Instructions
Ideal Slow Cooker Size: 4-Quart.
Place the oil in a skillet set over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often until the onion is golden and softened, about 5 minutes. Scrape the onion into the slow cooker.
Pat dry the beef with paper towels and then season it with the salt and pepper.
Add it to the skillet in batches so you don't overcrowd the pan.
Cook, just until the sides are browned, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. (The meat will still be raw in the middle.)
Scrape the meat into the slow cooker.
Add the water, bouillon and flour to the skillet and cook, stirring often, until thickened 2 to 3 minutes. Pour over the meat.
Cover and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours, or until the meat is fork tender. If desired, stir in 1-2 drops of Gravy Master Browning and Seasoning at the end.
Serve over rice or mashed potatoes or noodles or zucchini noodles.
