Directions

Season the beef with 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Coat the beef with the flour.

Add the mushrooms, garlic, herbs and bay leaf to the saucepot and cook until the mushrooms are tender. Stir in the broth and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 45 minutes.

Increase the heat to medium-high. Stir in the carrots and potatoes and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 30 minutes or until the beef is fork-tender. Remove and discard the bay leaf.
