Ingredients

 

• 1 lb. stew meat
• Carrots, sliced thin
• Celery, sliced thin
• 1/2 medium size onion, chopped
• Baby potatoes, chopped into bite size pieces
• 1 tbsp garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 tbsp flour
• 1-2 tsp beef bouillon
• Water to cover
• Salt, pepper to taste
• Olive oil

 

Instructions

 

1. In a Dutch oven, or large sauce pot, over medium heat - add a swirl of olive oil. Add your beef to this and begin to cook and brown the meat. When the meat is starting to leave brown bits on the bottom, add the bouillon and smash with the back of your spoon to spread it a bit, and cook. Then add in the vegetables and stir, cooking about 10 minutes to soften. Add water to cover, put on a lid and place in the oven for 3-4 hours on 300.
2. When ready to serve, add 1/4 cup water to a jar, along with 2 tbsp of flour. Shake vigorously. Bring your cooking vessel out of the oven and onto the stove over medium heat, insuring that it's boiling. Add the flour/water mixture and stir to thicken. Season to taste and serve.
