Beef Stew
· 2 pounds Beef chuck or stew meat, cut 1" cubes
· 1/4 cup Flour
· 1−1/2 teaspoons Salt
· 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
· 1−1/2 cups Beef broth

Place meat in crock pot. Mix flour, salt and pepper and pour over meat; stir
to coat meat with flour. Add remaining ingredients and stir to mix well.
Cover and cook on low (200 degrees) for 10 to 12 hours or high (300 degrees)
for 4 to 6 hours. Stir stew thoroughly before serving. From: Crock Pot
Recipe Booklet To cook on the stove: Mix the flour, salt and pepper
together. Coat meat with flour mixture. In a large fry pan, wok, or Dutch
Oven, brown the meat in a little oil (cooking a little meat at a time until
all is browned). Place meat in a large pot and add about 3 cups beef broth,
Worcestershire, garlic, bay leaf, paprika, carrots, onions and celery. Stir
to mix. Cook over medium heat until it comes to a slow boil, reduce to low
and continue cooking (4 hours or so) until the liquid is reduced and meat is
tender, stirring frequently. Add potatoes and continue cooking about another
30 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Do not use Kitchen Bouquet. If
necessary, add a little flour mixed with water to thicken
