Beef Stew (Recipe by Denise Wilburn)

2lb.s stew meat

1 c AP flour

3/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

Chopped onion

Minced Garlic

Oil

4-5 c. beef broth

1 bay leaf

3 stalks celery (washed and chopped)

3-4 carrots (peeled and chopped)

4-5 potatoes (peeled and chopped)

1-2 tbls cornstarch (mixed with cold water)

Combine flour, salt and pepper in 1 gallon zip lock bag. Coat stew meat by adding a few pieces at a time to bag and shaking…set pieces of coated meat aside on plate until all have been coated. Brown coated meat in a pan with oil (I use Olive). Turn to brown both sides. Transfer browned meat to a crock pot (you may have to do a few batches). Saute onion with oil in same pan (leave any little pieces of meat in pan for flavor) – add garlic..saute until onion in soft and opaque. Add to crock pot. Add broth and all other ingredients (except corn starch and water) to the crock pot. Cook on low 6-8 hours or until meat is tender. During the last 15-20 minutes add mixture of cornstarch/water (put cornstarch in small bowl…add a very little amount of cold water and stir until smooth) slowly…stir and then replace lid (this will thicken “sauce”). ENJOY.

Note: you may also prepare this in a pot on the stove. Cook about 1 hour or until meat is tender.
