Please share your favorite beef stew recipe. I don’t cook often so I need step by step directions if you don’t mind. Thanks so much for your help in advance! 
Basic Stew:
1 pound stew meat
1 or 2 carrots peeled and cut into big chunks
1 or 2 ribs of celery cut into big chunks
1 onion chopped
1 large white potato or 2 medium potatoes peeled and chopped
1 clove garlic chopped
1 can stewed tomatoes
Oil
Flour
Seasonings such as seasoned salt, granulated garlic, pepper, celery salt, onion powder and a few bay leaves
In a large skillet heat the oil.
In a zipper seal bag add flour and all the seasoning to taste-except bay leaves. You want to season it kinda heavily because it will basically season your whole stew.
Toss the meat into the bag of flour and coat well. Add the meat to the oil, adding a little extra flour.
Meanwhile add all veggies and bay leaf to a soup or crock pot. Add the meat when it is done frying, add all the flour drippings as well.
Simmer on low heat until the meat and veggies are tender. Adding more water or seasonings as needed. Stir from time to time as well.
