Season beef lightly with salt and pepper and then coat in the flour.
3 lbs stew meat, 1/2 cup flour, salt and pepper to taste
Heat oil over medium high heat in a large skillet. Cook the beef until almost browned, and then add in the onion. Continue turning and browning until the meat is fully browned and the onions are soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add meat and onions to the slow cooker.
