"Got this one from a friend and it is good. I have served it over boiled potatoes and pasta. but by fare the best is on potato pancakes. I suggest taking the time to make the potato pancakes its not that hard and it really makes this recipe go off the deep end which I am a big fan of doing."

3. Add stew meat to flour mixture and toss to coat meat.
4. In a Dutch oven or heavy pot bring warm olive oil over medium high heat.
5. Add stew meat and brown stirring to keep meat from burning. when meat is brown remove from pot.
