Wild Mushroom Beef Stew

I thought I would try a nice hearty stew and Mushrooms were on sale so this is what started it.

•  2 pounds of beef stew meat, cut into 1 inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 can of beef broth
• 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 1 tsp paprika
• 4 shitake mushrooms, sliced
• 2 med carrots, sliced * I used baby carrots*
• 2 med potatoes, diced
• 1 small onion chopped
• 1 rib celery, sliced

I put the beef in the crock pot and mixed the flour, salt and pepper together. I sprinkled it over the meat and stir to coat each piece of meat. Add added the remaining ingredients and stirred will to mix.
Covered and cooked on low for 6 hours. Stir stew before serving.

You can double the amount for a 5, 6 or 7 qt crockpot. That is what I did. It was wonderful! Thick and the flavor was out of this world.   You could use any other mushroom.
