Old Fashioned Beef Stew

Here's the recipe from my 1974 Betty Crocker Book which is also falling apart. I love this book.

1/2 C flour
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 pounds beef stew meat-1 inch pieces
2 T shortening
6 cups hot water
3 pared medium potatoes-1 inch cubes
1 medium turnip-1 inch cubes
4 carrots-1 inch slices
1 green pepper cut into strips
1 cup celery-1 inch pieces
1 medium onion diced (1/2 cup)
1 T salt
2 beef bouillon cubes
1 bay leaf

Mix flour, 1 tsp salt and pepper. Coat meat with flour mix, melt shortening in skillet then brown meat.

Add water to meat and boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer 2 hours. Stir in remaining ingredients and simmer 30 minutes or til veggies are tender.

If you want stew thick, shake 1 cup water and 2-4 T flour in a jar, stir into stew and heat to coil stirring constantly. Serves 6.

Hope this is the one you are looking for.
