  1. In a small dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper. Coat the beef with the flour mixture. Heat a frying pan or large pot over medium heat. Add the oil to the pot and brown the meat.
  2. If you’re cooking your stew in the slow cooker, transfer the browned meat to the slow cooker. Otherwise add all the remaining ingredients into the pot with the beef except the cornstarch and water.
  3. If you are cooking on the stovetop, bring all ingredients to a simmer and cook for approximately 1 hour. If you are cooking in the slow cooker, cook on low for 6 to 8 hours, or on high for 4 hours.
  4. Mix the water and cornstarch together in a small bowl and stir into the stew to thicken the gravy.
