Print
Slow-cooking this stew gives you mouthwatering beef and tender vegetables.  But what makes it Greek-style?  It's the addition of just the right amount of bay leaf, cinnamon and cloves.

Instructions

Place the beef, onions and carrots into a 4-quart slow cooker. Sprinkle with the flour and toss to coat. 
Stir the broth, vegetable juice and brown sugar in a medium bowl until the mixture is smooth. Pour the broth mixture over the beef and vegetables. Submerge the Bouquet Garni into the broth mixture.
Cover and cook on LOW for 8 to 9 hours or until the beef is fork-tender. Remove the Bouquet Garni. Serve the beef mixture over the noodles.
