Crock Pot Beef Stew

2 1/2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1 inch cubes(we bought boneless Beef Rib Meat and cut it myself as it was 3/4 the price of stew meat.)

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 onion, chopped

1 1/2 cups beef broth

3 potatoes, diced

4 carrots, sliced

3 stalks celery, chopped

1 tsp. Garlic Powder

Place meat in a large plastic bag or Big Bowl. Combine 1/4 to 1/2 cup flour (you will need it to cover your meat) with 1/2 tea­spoon salt & 1/2 tea­spoon pepper; pour into the bag with the meat, shake to coat. Then heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skil­let over medium-high heat. Add stew meat, and cook until evenly browned on the outside, you want to sear the meat. It takes a few minutes. Then remove your stew meat & place in your crockpot.

Cut the Potatoes, Carrots, Celery and Onion and place in the crockpot. 

Pour Beef Broth & Garlic powder over top and stir to coat all the Veggies and Meat w/ the broth.

Cook on High for 5-6 hours or on Low for 10-12hrs.
