Instructions
- Heat the oil in a skillet. When hot, dredge the stew pieces in flour and then place in hot skillet. Brown stew meat on all sides, leaving a little space in between pieces to insure proper browning. Place stew meat in a Crockpot, Instant Pot or Dutch oven.Add the onion, potatoes, corn, green beans, peas, soup mix, thyme, salt pepper and water. For the Crockpot, cook for about 6 hours on high. For Dutch oven, cook over medium heat for 2 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally so the bottom doesn’t burn. For Instant Pot, refer to instructions. (Meat should be very tender.) When beef stew is done, taste for flavor. If the stew needs more beef flavor, add 2 teaspoons or a tablespoon of Superior Touch Better Than Bouillon Beef Base, found at most grocery stores. You can also use beef bouillon cubes)
