Directions:Heat cooking oil in large skillet over medium high heat. Add one half pound of beef cubes at a time, and lightly brown. (Don't add too much at one time or the beef will not brown properly.) When finished browning, put into a large stew pot, and be sure to add the drippings from the skillet for added flavor. Add all ingredients above down to celery. cover pot and when mixture starts to bubble, reduce heat to keep a low bubble or simmer for one hour. Then add the rest of the ingredients, cover and maintain a low bubble or simmer for up to 2 hours, until the beef is tender and vegetables are done. You can add salt to taste in the last stages of cooking.
