 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
    2      pounds        beef chuck or stew meat
                         (cut in 1" cubes
      1/4  cup           flour
    1 1/2  teaspoons     salt
      1/2  teaspoon      pepper
    1 1/2  cups          beef broth
    1      teaspoon      Worcestershire sauce
    1      clove         garlic -- minced
    1                    bay leaf
    1      teaspoon      paprika
    4                    carrots -- sliced
    3                    potatoes -- diced
    2                    onions -- chopped
    1      stalk         celery -- sliced
    2      teaspoons     Kitchen Bouquet (optional)
 
      Place meat in crock pot.  Mix flour, salt and pepper and pour over  
 meat; stir to coat meat with flour. Add remaining ingredients and stir to  
 mix well.  Cover and cook on low (200 degrees) for 10 to 12 hours or high  
 (300 degrees) for 4 to 6 hours.  Stir stew thoroughly before serving.   To 
 cook on the stove:   Mix the flour, salt and pepper together.  Coat meat 
 with flour mixture.   In a large fry pan, wok, or Dutch Oven, brown the 
 meat in a little oil  (cooking a little meat at a time until all is 
 browned). Place meat in a  large pot and add about 3 cups beef broth, 
 Worcestershire, garlic, bay  leaf, paprika, carrots, onions and celery.  
 Stir to mix.  Cook over medium  heat until it comes to a slow boil, reduce 
 to low and continue cooking (4  hours or so) until the liquid is reduced 
 and meat is tender, stirring frequently. Add potatoes and continue cooking 
 about another 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender.  Do not use Kitchen 
 Bouquet.  If necessary, add a little flour mixed with water to  thicken.
