directions

  • Preheat dutch oven with 1/2 of the olive oil.
  • Mix flour& salt& pepper together and dust 1/2 the meat, placing in the hot oil.
  • Brown on all sides and repeat with the rest of the meat, adding more olive oil if necessary.
  • Remove the meat from the pan and drain on a paper towel.
  • Add the onion and celery to the pan and add a pinch of salt.
  • Use the juices from the onion and celery to deglaze the pan, scraping up the brown bits on the bottom.
  • When the onions & celery start to get soft, add the mushrooms and a pinch of salt.
  • Sauté until the mushrooms start to "collapse".
  • Add the carrots, potatoes, bay leaf, steak seasoning, kitchen bouquet, and bullion cube.
  • Pour the water over and cover, simmering at least 1 hr and 2-3 hours if possible.
  • If you need thickener, add the flour to the cold water and beat with a fork, strain into your boiling stew and continue to stir until it comes back to a boil, set to simmer and cover again for 15 minutes, check for seasoning.
