Mom made this stew for me when I was undergoing radioactive iodine therapy for my thyroid. It was delicious!

Ingredients

1 1/2 - 2 lbs stew meat or short ribs, cut into 2-bite chunks
3 large potatoes, cubed
6 carrots, cut into chunks
1 onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
2 tomatoes or 1 can diced tomatoes
1/3 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons smoked paprika
ground pepper
1 bottle dark beer
2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Mix flour, paprika, salt, pepper. Dredge meat in flour. Brown meat in olive oil. Remove meat. Add onions & garlic. Brown slightly. Add tomatoes and beer. Put meat back in and mix. Cover and bake at 300F for 2 hours. Add carrots & potatoes. Bake 2 more hours.

Tips

Brown the meat till it's really brown!
If you cook it in a crock pot, leave the lid off for a while so the liquid thickens.
If it's too bland, add more salt (and maybe pepper).
