Slow cooker problem

I have a new slow cooker. Today I made beef stew. I browned the cubed stewing steak in a frying pan after coating in flour, followed by the onions. Stock to cover. Cooked for 8 hours on low without removing the lid, as instructed in the booklet. Some of the meat was just edible, some was so tough we couldn't chew it. To make it worse, I made enough for 3 meals, Where did I go wrong? I am so disappointed.

I don't pre heat the food or the cooker at all. Works well each time. Usually put on medium setting

Dickens I’m definitely going to try that with chicken thighs next week! So easy, no messing, low fuel what’s not to like?

Here's the 'recipe' Urms (just scroll down a bit, you'll see it). What attracted me to it was this:

"Prep time - 1 minute" grin

The recipe doesn't even use herbs - just salt and pepper, but I like them, so I added them.
