Season the beef generously with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the beef until golden brown, about 5 minutes.

In the same skillet, sauté the onions and garlic until fragrant and softened, around 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the onions and garlic to the slow cooker with the beef.
Add the mushrooms, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, thyme, and rosemary to the slow cooker and stir well.
Whisk the flour with a little water to create a slurry and pour it into the slow cooker, stirring gently.

Notes

Don't skip searing the beef; it enhances the stew's flavor significantly. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving; sometimes, a pinch of sugar can balance acidity. For a richer taste, consider adding a splash of cream or butter before serving. This stew can store in the fridge for up to 4 days and freezes well for up to 3 months. Reheat gently to maintain flavor and texture. Serve with crusty bread or mashed potatoes for a complete meal. Enjoy the cozy flavors!
