Fantastic recipe for beef and ale stew from Jamie Oliver. I've had a crush on Mr. Oliver since I was in college and he was the naked chef... Now I just think he is rad. Stew: 3 bay leaves, 2 carrots chopped coarsely, 2 stalks celery chopped coarsely, two medium onions, chopped coarsely, 2 lugs olive oil. Preheat oven to 350. On stove, on med-high in heavy pan with lid, combine above ingredients and fry 10 minutes. Add 1.25 lbs stew beef, I heaping Tbs flour. Add one can diced tomatoes (14oz-ish) and 1.5 cans Guinness stout. Dash of sea salt, grind of pepper. Mix. Bring to boil. Cover and put in oven for 3 hours, removing lid for 15-30 minutes at end. Delicious with fresh bread. Oh, and finish that can of beer. It's your treat for cooking.
