Instructions

In a large ziplock bag, combine flour, salt, pepper, oregano, thyme, and onion powder.
Add the beef to the bag and shake until well coated.
In a large skillet over medium high heat, add the cooking oil once hot.
Brown the flour-coated beef on all sides, ensuring it does not burn.
Once browned, mix in the tomato paste and beef broth, stirring until a thick sauce forms.
Remove from heat and set the mixture aside.
In the slow cooker, add potatoes, carrots, celery, onion, and garlic.
