- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 onions, quartered (or 16-20 whole pearl onions)
- 14 cup flour
- 3 cups beef stock

- 3 stalks celery, sliced
- 6 -8 potatoes, peeled and chunked
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 12 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
- 12 teaspoon dried leaf marjoram
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- Brown the beef all over in oil in batches, in a large Dutch oven.
- saute the garlic with the beef, but put it in near the end so it doesn't burn.
- Put all the beef in the pot and sprinkle with flour, stirring, till everything is browned nicely.
- (You can also flour the beef first and brown it, and add any remaining flour when it's all back in the pot.)
- Add the stock and tomatoes and stir.
- Add all of the rest of the ingredients, cover, and cook on low for about 3 hours or until the beef is tender.
