Old Fashioned Beef Stew

4 T. oil

1/2 cup flour

1 T. garlic powder

1 t. salt

1 t. pepper

2 pounds beef cubes

2 small onions, quartered

6 large potatoes, peeled and cubed

6 large carrots, peeled and sliced

1/2 t. celery salt

4 cups beef broth

2 T. worchestershire sauce

Dash or two of Tabasco sauce

Heat oil over medium high heat. In a ziploc bag mix flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add meat a little at a time and shake to coat. In small batches, brown beef cubes in oil about 1 minute per side. Set beef aside. Add onions to pan and brown. Drain any fat from pan, if needed. Add meat and onions back to pot along with the rest of the ingredients. Stir well and bring to boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. 

For a thicker broth, about 30 minutes before stew is done, combine 2 T. flour and 2 T. cold water, then slowly stir into stew.

Suggestion: Serve with thick sliced homemade bread and root beer. :)
