Instructions
Heat up oil in a pot.
Put flour in a ziploc bag. Season with 1 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp of black pepper. Add the chunks of beef in the bag. Shake the bag to coat the beef.
Brown the beef chunks into the pot, about 3-5 minutes or so. Then add the water and the rest of the seasonings. Stir then cover the pot. Simmer in medium heat, stirring once in a while. Adjust the seasoning according to your liking. You might want to add more salt as it cooks.
Test the beef doneness after simmering for about 45 minutes. Add the potatoes and carrots. Continue to simmer until potatoes are fork tender. You want the vegetables to be soft and tender but you want to maintain their shapes too.
Notes
Add peas and celery too if you want. Add them at the very end of the cooking process.
