Directions

Coat the beef with the flour.

Stir the vegetable juice, broth, onion, bay leaf, thyme and black pepper in the saucepan and heat to a boil. Return the beef to the saucepan. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 2 hours.

Stir in the carrots, potatoes and celery. Cover and cook for 1 hour or until the beef is fork-tender and the vegetables are tender. Remove and discard the bay leaf before serving.
