Beef Stew

Ingredients:
4 tbls. oil
1 clove garlic, split
1/2 onion, sliced thin
1/3 cup flour
1-1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. thyme
1/4 tsp. pepper
3 pounds beef roast cut into 1 inch cubes
3 cups beef broth
4 carrots, sliced
10-15 fresh mushrooms (halved)

Directions:
Heat oil, and sauté garlic and onions. Remove. Mix together flour, salt and pepper. Dredge meat in flour mix and brown well in the oil (add more if necessary). Return onion and garlic to pot. Add carrots, beef broth and thyme plus wine if you are using.

Simmer, covered for one and 1/2 hours or until tender. Sauté mushrooms in 1 tbls. butter for 5 minutes. Add to meat and mix gently. Simmer for 10 more minutes on very low heat.

Serve with fresh French bread, and a salad. You can also serve over biscuits, noodles or rice.

Note: This recipe can be put in the crock pot also, and cooked on high for about 6 hours, adding the mushrooms at the last 15 minutes or so.
