Camp Stove Stew

Delicious and satisfies the hungriest of campers...my stew will feed 6 people.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs stew meat (I buy any steak or roast that has the best value and cut it myself)
1/2 cup flour plus a brown paper lunch sack
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 medium onion chopped
8 potatoes peeled and cubed into bite size pieces
6 large carrots peeled and sliced
4 stalks of cut celery including leafy tops
2 beef bullion cubes
1 tsp thyme
6 - 8 cups of water
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Begin heating dutch oven up on top of camping stove on med/high heat.  Place flour and cut up meat into brown paper sack...shake vigorously.  Remove meat from bag and place it in hot dutch oven and brown for a few minutes.  Add onion saute for a minute, then add potatoes, carrots, celery, and thyme, then let those ingredients saute for another minute.  Slowly add water till all ingredients are covered completely plus bullion cubes.  Bring to a boil, then turn down heat and simmer for about 45 minutes.  It is done when the meat and vegetables are tender, season to taste with salt and pepper.  For a thicker stew consistency use the left over flour in the paper bag...slowly sprinkle the flour in, stirring vigorously to prevent lumps.
