Steps:

• Dredge stew meat in flour.
• In a large stock pot brown the beef on medium high heat in 2 tbsp of olive oil. remove meat.
• Add in 2 tbsp of olive oil and cook on medium heat.
• Add in the onions until translucent.
• Add the garlic and cook about 1 more minute.
• Throw in the browned meat and add herbs, spices, water and canned tomatoes.
• Turn up heat to high and bring to a boil.
• And turn heat down to low and simmer for 5 hours.
• I sometimes take a short cut and dredge and brown the meat in a skillet then throw everything in a crock pot and let simmer on low for 6-8 hours depending on how tender you like the meat. You can also cut down on the water quite a bit when using the crock pot and add water as needed.
