Make Leftover Steak Into Beef Stew

2 tsp flour (to be mixed with 1/4 cup water)

Chop all vegetables and set aside. Put olive oil in a large pot over med-high heat. Drop onions into pot and let them cook down until soft and somewhat translucent. Add garlic and let brown for a few minutes. Add the meat, carrots, celery, potatoes and bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Let cook for about 10 minutes. Add beef broth/stock and 1 cup of water. Bring up to a boil and then lower to med-low heat. Cover, and let simmer for 15 minutes. Add 2 tsp flour to 1/4 cup warm water and mix well. Pour into stew while stirring. This will help thicken the sauce. Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes or until sauce thickens to desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
