The Best Beef Stew Omelet

Sprinkle beef with salt and pepper, then dust with flour.
Brown meat with garlic, minced onion, and celery leaves,
about 10 minutes on medium or low medium, unitl well
browned. Keep stirring to avoid burning. Extract oil, add
beef and chicken broth, add tomato paste, bring to a boil,
then reduce to simmer. Cover, let cook about 1 our or
until beef is tender. Add carrots and potatoes and cook
5 minutes, then add onions and celery and cook 10
minutes more. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
One of my secrets for making a thick rich stew is that I use
sweet rice flour diluted with a little water for thickening.
Bring stew to a boil, add sweet rice flour/mixture a little at
a time, simmering and stirring until you get the right
consistency. This stew is best the next day, after all the
flavors have had a chance to blend.
Make your favorite plain omelete recipe. Use 3 eggs or egg
subtitute. To serve place rice in a bowl, portion of omelet
on top, and top off with beef stew. Enjoy!
