Steps:

• 1. Combine flour,salt & pepper and coat stew meat. Heat oil in skillet and brown meat on all sides. Place in Tender Cooker.
• 2. Combine onion, cranberry sauce & bourbon, stir into the meat. Add bay leaf. The alcohol in the bourbon cooks out, just the wonderful flavor remains.
• 3. Add gasket, cover and turn cover to lock down. Be sure the gasket stays in place, on the bottom of the cooker. Top cover with the red weight.
• 4. Put pot into your micro-wave and , cook on high for 20-25 minutes! With a low wattage oven add 1-2 minutes. Open micro-wave door. Wait till the yellow stem lowers down. Remove to counter. Open lid and serve over cooked noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. I like spinach or cooked carrots on the side. This makes it's own wonderful gravy!! OH! SO.......delicious!!!
