1

Put the meat in a large plastic bag. Mix 1/4 cup flour with the salt in a small bowl; pour it into the bag and shake to coat the meat.
2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the floured meat and cook, in batches if needed, until evenly browned on the outside. Move the meat to a slow cooker.
3

Melt the butter in the same skillet. Add the onions and cook until softened. Transfer them to the slow cooker.
4

Pour the red wine into the skillet and stir to loosen any browned bits from the bottom. Take it off the heat and pour it into the slow cooker.
5

Add the potatoes, carrots, parsley, and pepper to the slow cooker. Stir 2 cups boiling water and the dry soup mix together in a small bowl; pour it into the slow cooker.
6

Cover and cook on High for 30 minutes.
7

Lower the heat to Low and cook for 6 hours, or until the meat is tender enough to pull apart with a fork.
8

Mix 1/4 cup warm water with 2 tablespoons flour in a small bowl; stir it into the stew and cook, uncovered, until thickened, about 15 minutes.
