Beef in Wine Gravy

I put a bit of extra work at the start of slow cooker recipes. Worth it in my book.

This recipe was adapted from

Ingredients:

1 1/2 lb of beef stew meat, 1 inch cubes

1 cup coarsely chopped onion

2 beef bouillon cubes or 1 package onion soup mix

3 tbsp cornstarch

salt

ground black pepper

1 1/2 cups dry red wine

2 potatoes (0ptional)

hot cooked egg noodles

1) Brown/sear the beef chunks in a hot skillet. While meat is searing, roughly chop onions. Throw the beef and onions in the crock pot.

2) Add bouillon cubes/onion soup mix, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper to the crock pot.

3) Deglaze the skillet with the red wine, then add to crock pot.

Cook on low heat for 10-12 hours or high heat for 5-6 hours. Halfway through cooking, add cubed potatoes, if using. Serve over noodles.
