Jeff's Challenge: Special Beef Stew

    Ok, I admit that I like a good beef stew.   I got this recipe from the "Todays Woman BBQ Cook Book" from the 1950's.

2 lb beef stew meet
1/4 cup flour
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp Pepper
1/4 cup Fat
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 tsp dried basil
1 cup burgundy wine
1 1/2 cup Water
1 8oz can Tomato sauce
6 Carrots, cleaned and halved lengthwise
12 small onions, peeled
6 medium potatoes
1/4 bl whole green beanes, cleaned.

    Wipe meat with a damp cloth and cut in 2-inch cubes.  Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a paper bag.  Add beef cubes and shake well.  Heat fat in a heavy dutch oven.  Brown meat slowly on all sides.  Add garlic, basil, wine, water and tomato sauce.  Cover tightly and simmer about 1 1/4 hours.  Add carrots cut in half lengthwide, whole onions, potatoes cut in half and the green beens.  Cover tightly and simmer about 35 - 40 minutes.  Makes about 6 servings.
