Beef Stew

June and 95+ degree weather may not seem like the best time for a hearty beef stew. But this one pot meal is something my family loves year round. And, since even eating breakfast makes me want to take a nap some days, the fact that it's something that cooks itself after the ingredients are all in makes it even better.

1 lb. stew meat
Seasoned Flour
1 onion, diced
5-6 potatoes
2 rutabagas
1 1/2 cups baby carrots
1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
Dash of Worcestershire sauce
2-4 Tablespoons of vegetable or olive oil

Preheat the oil in a large stock pot Dredge the stew meat pieces in the Seasoned flour and fry one layer at a time until all pieces are browned. They don't have to be cooked through.
