Flemish Beer Stew


Flemish Beer Stew 
Claire Evans - Lewisville, TX 

I leave my celery in large pieces so I can remove it from the stew, because I don’t like celery but the flavor is a nice addition.
 

Serves 6 

Ingredients 
2 1/2 pounds lean beef stew meat, cut in 1-inch cubes 
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced 
3 carrots, cut in 1-inch slices
2 ribs celery, cut in 1/2-inch slices
2 medium potatoes, cut in 1-inch cubes
1 cup beer
1 cup beef broth
1 can chopped seasoned tomatoes, 12 oz
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper 
1 teaspoon oregano
3 tablespoons melted butter 
1/3 cup flour
 

Instructions

Remove juice including some of the onion, garlic, and tomatoes and puree in a blender.
