    Ingredients

    • 2 pounds stew beef
    • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    • 2 cups water
    • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    • 1 clove garlic, peeled
    • 1 or 2 bay leaves
    • 1 medium onion, sliced
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • 1 teaspoon sugar
    • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
    • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
    • Dash ground allspice or ground cloves
    • 3 large carrots, sliced
    • 3 ribs celery, chopped
    • 2 tablespoons cornstarch

    Directions

    1. Brown meat in hot oil. Add water, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, bay leaves, onion, salt, sugar, pepper, paprika, and allspice. Cover and simmer 1 1/2 hours. Remove bay leaves and garlic clove. Add carrots and celery. Cover and cook 30 to 40 minutes longer. To thicken gravy, remove 2 cups hot liquid. Using a separate bowl, combine 1/4 cup water and cornstarch until smooth. Mix with a little hot liquid and return mixture to pot. Stir and cook until bubbly.
    2. *** Note: I like to boil some red potatoes with thier skins and serve it with the stew.
