Monday Menu – Beef Stew

Here’s a great cool weather recipe. It cooks up in the crock pot so it couldn’t be any easier. It’s great served with a crusty French bread and green salad.
Beef Stew
2 pounds beef chuck, or stew meat, cut into 1 inch cubes
1/4 flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 cups beef broth
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon paprika
4 carrots, cut into chunks
3 potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
2 onions, chopped
1 stalk celery, sliced

1. Place meat in crock pot. Mix flour, salt and pepper and sprinkle over meat. Stir to coat meat with flour mixture.
2. Add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, bay leaf, paprika, carrots, potatoes, onions and celery.
3. Stir to mix well.
4. Cover and cook on Low 10-12 hours or High 4-5.

Enjoy!
