Beef Stew

2 1/2 lbs. stew meat
1 tlbs. Paul Prudhommes Meat Magic
salt & pepper to taste
1/2 cup flour

Mix together in plastic storage bag. Fry up in stock pot until golden brown on all sides. Add 2 cans beef stock and simmer until meat is tender. This takes about 1 1/2 hours. You may need to add more beef stock. Add 1 chopped onion and chopped celery to your liking. Slice carrots and add them before meat is all the way tender. After meat is tender add three potatoes chunked and cubed. When these are done you can add other can vegetables if you like. We like corn and peas in ours. I also add 1 onion and celery to cook along with potatoes and carrots. Mmmm tasty!!
