   *DIRECTIONS*
   
   Heat oil in a large skillet. Add beef and brown on all
   sides. Add onions and celery and saute until golden
   brown. Add garlic and saute mixture 1 minute longer,
   stirring constantly. (Do not let garlic change color.)
   
   Stir water into mixture, then add remaining
   ingredients. Cover and simmer for 1-1/4 hours, or
   until beef is tender and liquid is reduced to 1/3 to
   1/2 cup. If pan juice gets too low during cooking, add
   a little hot water. Or, if pan juice does not reduce
   sufficiently, uncover skillet during last 30 minutes
   of cooking and stir often. Taste to correct
   seasonings. Stew goes well with brown rice. Makes 4
   servings.
