Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed oven-proof pot over medium-high heat.
Toss the stewing beef cubes with flour, salt, and black pepper; brown on all sides, adding the onions about 1/2 way through the browning.
Add the red wine, scraping up any fond (brown bits = flavor!).
Add the tomato soup, water, and basil; stir to combine.
Crock pot beef stew
Add the quartered onion, carrots and potatoes to your slow cooker. Pour the beef mixture on top, cover and cook on high for 2 hours, or low for 4 to 5 hours.
Oven slow cooked
Cover and bake in 375℉ (190℃) F oven 1 hour. Add vegetables, stir to combine and continue cooking, covered, for another hour or until done. The vegetables should be soft when pierced with a fork, and the beef is tender.
Serve over egg noodles, rice and/or with crusty bread to mop up the sauce. This recipe makes ample sauce!
