This is a combination of a basic stew recipe and the 30 or so years of making it. I love comfort foods and anything you can make in one pot is always a plus. I generally move everything into a crock pot and let it slow cook overnight, but it can be done on the stove top in the dutch oven and cooked for about 3 hours...

How To Make stick-to-your-ribs beef stew - a comfort food

1
mix flour, salt, pepper and paprika together. In small batches, coat stew beef with flour mixture. Set aside. Reserve leftover flour mixture. In 6 qt Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Brown meat all over ( does not need to be cooked through ) a few pieces at a time. Remove and set aside. When all the meat is browned, add garlic and onions to the pan drippings; cook 3 minutes, stirring until onion is almost tender. Gradually add water ( or stock ),bouillon and worcestershire, stirring. Add the meat and heat to boiling. Add the potatoes and carrots and cover. Simmer about 2 1/2 hours. Add celery and cover. Simmer another 20 minutes or so...If you are using frozen peas/veggies, add and simmer for another 5 to 10 minutes. Here, I add water to the reserved flour, stir until it is lump free then add to thicken the gravy. I also add mushrooms...I substitute rough cut (quartered) onions for the diced and also baby carrots instead of regular... Flavor to your taste...it is something you can experiment with and I serve over egg noodles or with a nice crusty bread and butter or what ever you like... Have fun!
