Today though it was cold & rainy & raw outside and a perfect day for beef stew. I didn't follow a recipe....just worked with what I had on hand....and sometimes those are the meals that come out the best. What I used is as follows if you'd like to give it a try. Enjoy.
Savory Beef Stew
1 lb angus stew beef
1 med onion coarsely chopped
2 T vegetable or canola oil
2-3 cloves garlic chopped
1 stalk of celery sliced
