Beef stew

Directions:

1. Prepare the Beef: Place the beef stew meat in the slow cooker.
2. Coat the Meat: In a small bowl, mix the flour, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle this mixture over the beef and stir until all the pieces are evenly coated.

4. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook on Low for 8 to 12 hours or on High for 4 to 6 hours, until the beef is tender enough to cut with a spoon.
5. Serve: Remove the bay leaf before serving. Enjoy your hearty, flavorful beef stew!
