In a bowl, mix flour and salt & pepper (to your liking) together. Pour into plastic baggie and drop the stew meat in to coat.

in a Dutch oven over Med heat melt butter. Add coated stew beef and brown.

Once beef is browned on all sides, add all the remaining ingredients. ***NOTE: Save the flour mixture that was in the baggie to the end if you need to tighten up the consistancy.

Bring contents to a boil and lower heat to slow simmer. Cover and cook approximately 3 1/2-4 hours, stirring occationally. Its done when the meat is so tender you can break with a fork.

The consistancy may be too loose for your individual liking (personal preference). If so add some of the flour from the baggie to a cup of cold water and mix. Slowly add to Dutch oven. It will thicken gradually.

Serve with egg noodles or rice.
