3 stalks celery , cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 cloves garlic , minced

Directions:
Warm oil in a heavy bottomed pot over med-high heat.
Pat beef dry and sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
Add beef to the pot and brown well all over.
Stir in the onion, carrots, and celery; saute for 5 minutes Add garlic and cook for 30-60 seconds until fragrant.
Slowly pour in the double strength beef broth. Add the Worcestershire and tomato paste; stir.
Liquid level should just cover the beef.
Bring to simmer, then adjust heat to low / medium-low so it’s a gentle simmer. Cover with lid, cook for 1 hr 45 minutes, until the beef is tender.
When the timer goes off, Microwave the butter until just melted Add flour and stir to make a slurry. Pour slurry into pot and stir.
Add in the potatoes; simmer for another 30 minutes (without the lid) until the potatoes and beef are very tender, the sauce has reduced and thickened slightly.
Ladle into bowls, garnish with parsley if desired. Enjoy with crusty bread.
Even better the next day!
