Winter Beef Stew

You will need:

1lb stew beef

1 1/2 cup water

2 cups beef stock

2 celery stalks

2 carrots

2 medium red potatoes

1/2 onion

2 tbsp flour

salt and pepper

Macaroni (optional)

It's snowing outside and we're trapped inside, so it seemed like a perfect day to make beef stew.

Coat the beef chunks in flour mixed with salt and pepper.

Drain any fat after you've cooked the beef.

Add the beef stock and water.

I added an herb mixture I bought at a local market. This would be the time to add your favorite spices.

Let simmer for about 1 hr.

Add the diced vegetables and let simmer for 30 minutes.

If you choose to add macaroni, add in the last 10 minutes.

Personally, I thought it was a great addition.

Dig in and Enjoy!!!
