   1. Brown beef cubes in saucepan until well browned.
   
   2. Add 1-1/2 cups water, salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Cover
   and cook over low heat until beef is almost
   tender--about 1 hour.
   
   3. Add onion and celery. Continue cooking until meat and
   vegetables are tender--about 20 minutes.
   
   4. Remove bay leaf.
   
   5. Mix flour and water until smooth. Stir into beef
   mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until
   thickened--about 2 minutes.
   
   6. Serve over noodles.
   
   *NOTE: Pot beef cubes, use a 1-1/2 pound blade chuck
   steak. Separate lean meat from fat and bone. Cut meat into
   3/4-inch cubes. Divide beef cubes in half. Use half (about
   1 cup) for Braised Beef with Noodles. Save remaining 1 cup
   for Beef and Peppers (p. 34).
