What makes this so easy? Simply toss all the ingredients together in a Dutch oven, place it in the oven, and forget about it for two hours, or cook it all day in your slow cooker.

1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 pounds lean boneless round steak, trimmed of fat and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3 cups water
2 medium potatoes, scrubbed and cut into bite-size pieces
9-ounce package frozen no-salt-added whole baby carrots
8 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms
1 cup frozen no-salt-added pearl onions
4 teaspoons low-sodium beef bouillon granules
1 teaspoon dried savory or thyme, crushed
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Preheat oven to 350°F.
In a large plastic bag with a tight-fitting seal, combine flour and pepper. Add meat and shake until well coated. Shake off excess flour.
In an ovenproof Dutch oven, combine coated meat and remaining ingredients. Cover and bake for 2 hours or until meat is tender, stirring once or twice.
Slow-Cooker Method: Prepare beef cubes as directed above. Combine coated meat and remaining ingredients in a 3 1/2- to 4-quart electric slow cooker. Cover and cook on high for 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 hours or on low for 9 to 11 hours or until meat is tender.
