Made my mom's beef stew to take a break from Thanksgiving leftovers. It was delicious! She'd approve. She never wrote down the recipe, but this is what she showed me.

Serves 8-10 2-3 lbs chuck cut in 1.5 inch cubes Season with Salt & Pepper Toss in flour to coat Brown in pot with small amount of oil in small batches (don't crowd, or the meat will steam and turn grey) Set aside
