Mom's Beef Stew

*1-2 lbs of Beef chunks
*1 Onion
*Can of beef broth
*Can of water
*7-8 carrots (diagonal sliced)
*5-6 potatoes (quartered)
*4-5 celery (diced)
*half a head of cauliflower (broken up)
*2 zuccini (sliced)

Dip beef chunks in a mixture of flour, garlic salt and Lawry's seasoning (be generous in the seasonings). Brown beef and diced onion in bottom of the stew pot with olive oil. Then add beef broth, water, carrots, celery, cauliflower and zuccini. A little more beef broth and water may need to be added (you dont want the water level to pass your vegetables, although close to that) Slow cook for 2 hours and add the potatoes a half an hour before serving. The only vegetables that you can see when finished are the carrots and potatoes, the rest should have become the "stew" it is fairly thick when done and super yummy/healthy!
