A hearty and satisfying dish that’s a lighter version of classic comfort food, packed with flavor and focused on health benefits.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Tablespoons of vegetable oil
  • 1 pound of beef stew meat
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons of ground black pepper
  • 1 yellow onion, cut into thin slices
  • 1 packet of low sodium Au Jus gravy mix
  • 1 packet of Beefy Onion Soup Mix
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can of French Onion Soup
  • 5 Tablespoons of sliced unsalted butter
  • 2 cups of shredded Mozzarella and Provolone cheese or shredded Gruyere cheese

Instructions

  1. Sear the beef: Heat your heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add the vegetable oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the skillet. Once hot, sear the beef stew meat for 1-2 minutes on each side until it’s browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Prepare the crock pot: Spray the bottom of your crock pot with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. Layer the ingredients: Layer the sliced onions on the bottom of the crock pot, followed by the seared beef.
  4. Add seasonings: Sprinkle the Au Jus gravy mix and Beefy Onion Soup Mix evenly over the beef.
  5. Pour the soup: Pour the can of French Onion Soup over the mixture in the crock pot.
  6. Add butter: Slice the unsalted butter and place it evenly on top of the mixture.
  7. Cook and serve: Cover the crock pot and set it on low for 4 to 6 hours. About 30 minutes before serving, stir the beef gently and sprinkle the cheese on top to let it melt.

Notes

Great for meal prep! Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Use low-sodium ingredients for a healthier option.
