DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350. In a Dutch oven (5-quart) with a tight-fitting lid, combine beef, tomato paste, vinegar, and flour; season with salt and pepper.

2. Add onions, potatoes, carrots, *celery*, garlic, bay leaves, and 5 cups water or until covered. Bring to a boil. Cover, transfer to oven, and cook until meat is fork-tender, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Remove bay leaves and, if desired, season with salt and pepper before serving.

Serve with good sourdough bread.
