In her words:

1 pound beef (cut in bite size)
1 onion (sliced) - string beans (cut) (me: she means the
flat Italian green beans)
carrots (sliced)
4 med size potatoes (cut up)
3/4 c water - salt (according to taste)

Sautee onions in heated oil. Remove from pot.
Coat meat in brown paper bag with flour.

Brown meat - Cover with water - Cover pot.
Simmer till meat is almost tender - About 1 hour.
Add onions, carrots and taters. If more water is
needed, add 1/2 cup water. Cover, simmer for
about 1/2 hour. Add the string beans (cooked
separately) after stew is finished.

Buon Appetit!

(me: a simple stew but surprisingly good.)

It does sound good, Nancy. The string beans are a nice departure from the
usual green peas. Sometimes I see recipes posted here and elsewhere that
strike me as much too complex for my taste. Not that I couldn't make them,
but I'm not sure I'd want to.

Yeah. All it needs is a cup of red wine in the
"cover with water" area.

(laugh!!!) She's turning over in her urn as we speak!
Though it was okay her father made wine, that was
different. He was from Italy. Hmmm ... Valpolicello.
