Perfect meal for a cold day. I love
to make it on Sunday so we have
it for dinner Sunday night and then
leftovers during the week.
Toss your beef cubes with the
flour and all the spices. In a large
Dutch oven heat some olive oil
and sear off your meat on all
sides. Add in all your chopped

Simmer on a medium to low heat
for about 2 to 2 1/2 hours until
your meat and vegetables are all
fork tender.
