Proper searing of beef in a hot pan is crucial for enhancing flavor, texture, and juiciness, regardless of the cut or cooking method, by utilizing the Maillard reaction. Experts recommend drying the meat, choosing the right cut, seasoning well, and letting the meat rest after cooking for optimal results.

Coating meat in flour before searing and simmering in a slow cooker is a traditional method believed to originate from France. However, the supposed benefits of flouring the meat are questionable. While some claim it adds flavor and thickens the sauce, experts argue that flouring the meat actually impedes proper browning and searing, resulting in a less flavorful dish. Additionally, using flour to thicken the sauce is imprecise and may require additional flour later on. The practice of searing meat in flour before stewing seems to be more rooted in tradition than actual cooking benefits.
