- In a 2-c. measuring c., combine dry mushrooms and boiling water. Let stand for 20 to 30 min.
- In a heavy plastic bag, combine flour, pepper (if using), basil, oregano and salt. In batches, add in beef to flour mix and toss to coat. Transfer to a plate. In a large nonstick skillet, heat half the oil over medium-high heat; cook beef in batches, adding more oil as needed, till browned all over. With a slotted spoon, transfer beef to slow cooker. Add in beef stock to pan; stir to scrape up brown bits and transfer to slow cooker.
- Add in carrots to slow cooker, along with onion, garlic, button mushrooms, wine, tomato paste, vinegar and bay leaf.
- With a slotted spoon, remove rehydrated mushrooms from soaking liquid; coarsely chop and add in to slow cooker along with soaking liquid; stir well to combine beef-vegetable mix.
- Cover and cook on Low for 8 to 10 hrs or possibly on High for 4 to 6 hrs, till vegetables are tender and stew is bubbling. Remove bay leaf and throw away before serving.
- Tip: There are many types of dry mushrooms, including varieties such as shiitake and chanterelle. When they are properly rehydrated, their flavor and texture are as good as fresh. And if the soaking liquid is incorporated into the recipe, it adds even more flavor. Besides warm water, you can use red wine or possibly beef stock to soak the mushrooms for this stew.
- For an extra-peppery flavor, try adding the optional freshly cracked black peppercorns to the flour used for dredging the beef.
