Beef Stew In A Crockpot

Ingredients

2 pound blade simmering steak
3/8 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic salt
2 cup water mixed with
2 beef oxo envelopes
1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
6 carrots
6 yukon gold potatoes
1 onion
2 celery stalks
1/4 cup water
6 tablespoon bisto gravy maker

Instructions

Remove fat from meat and discard. Cut meat away from bone and into 1 1/2 inch pieces. (Freeze the bone to use later for stock.) Place meat chunks in crockpot. Mix flour, salt, pepper and garlic salt together and sprinkle over meat. Stir to coat meat. Add 2 cups of water mixed with OXO, and worcestershire sauce. Add prepared vegetables. Cover and cook on low for 10 to 12 hours, or on high for 4 to 6 hours. About 1/2 hour before the stew has finished cooking, add the Bisto mixed with the 1/4 cup of water. (This will thicken stew.) Stir stew to mix, and serve. Great with homemade bread.

Serves 5.

Note: For a 5.5 quart size crockpot. If you use a smaller one, you might have to scale down the recipe.
