Beef Stew

   Brown the beef with the onion, then add water to cover and the garlic.

2. 2

   (I generally use 2 cloves.)

3. 3

   Bring to a boil, then simmer covered for at least an hour.

4. 4

   Add carrots, potatoes/turnips, one or two tsp of thyme, and salt and pepper to taste.

5. 5

   Simmer covered until vegetables are tender.

6. 6

   Add a little flour or other thickener (I reserve a little of the seasoned flour to use), bring to a boil, and set aside to cool a bit before serving.
