Rhertz's REALLY Good Beef Stew

2lbs beef stew meat cubed
2 or 3 tbs flour
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp salt
One can beef broth
2 or 3 beef bullion cubes
1 tbl Worcestershire Sauce
2 cloves garlic crushed or minced
2 bay leaves
1 tbl paprika
2 carrots chopped
1 onion chopped
2 stalks celery chopped
2 big potatos cut into chunks

Wrap beef in paper towel for a couple of minutes then put in large pot. This makes the beef "sticky". Add flour, salt, and pepper over the meat and stir until each cube of meat is coated with flour. Add remaining ingredients to the pot and some water, about a cup. Cover and cook on low for about 5-6 hours until meat falls apart. Add mushrooms if you like them.
