Add some reserved beef and scatter the flour within the vegetable and beef mixture (enough to gently coat) and prepare stirring until gently toasted. Add some water or broth, and produce to some simmer. Tie the parsley. thyme, and bay leaves plus a bit of kitchen twine and add some bundle towards the pot. Season with 2 teaspoons salt, in order to taste. Cover and transfer towards the oven. Prepare the meat until just tender, about 1 1/2 hrs. (This may also be done around the stove in a low simmer.)

Add some taters, carrots, celery, and also the tomato plants. and produce to some simmer on the top from the stove. Prepare, uncovered, stirring from time to time, before the liquid thickens and also the vegetables are tender, about one hour. Remove and discard the plant bundle.
