User Slow Cooker Beef gravy

Certainly! Here’s a simple recipe for slow cooker beef gravy:

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds beef stew meat
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup beef broth
• 1/2 cup red wine (optional)
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup water

Instructions:

1. In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef stew meat and brown on all sides. Transfer the browned meat to the slow cooker.
2. In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion until it becomes translucent. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes.
3. Pour the beef broth, red wine (if using), soy sauce, and Worcestershire sauce into the skillet. Stir to combine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add dried thyme and rosemary. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Pour the broth mixture over the browned beef in the slow cooker.
5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 7-8 hours or until the beef is tender.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together flour and water to create a smooth paste. Stir the flour paste into the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking to thicken the gravy. If the gravy is not thick enough, you can cook it for an additional 15-30 minutes on high with the lid off.
7. Adjust the seasoning to taste before serving.
