I am pretty well convinced that French onion soup and Worcestershire sauce are big contributors to the flavor, but am becoming increasingly convinced that languishing for an hour or more in a hotel pan in the steam table plays a big roll in imparting that illusive flavor and tenderness to the finished product. I think I will move my efforts from a covered fry pan to the slow cooker and see how that works.
