Beef stew for the crockpot

2 pounds of lean beef stew meat, cut into 1 inch cubes
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce *note this is what the original recipe called for.  I left it out because it has soy in it
1 onion, chopped
1 1/2 cups beef broth (I used Meijer Organic fat free beef broth)
4 medium red potatoes, peeled and diced
4 carrots, peeled and sliced
1 stalk of celery, chopped

Instructions:
Place meat in crockpot.  In a small bowl whisk together the flour, salt and pepper and pour over meat, stir to coat meat with flour mixture.  Stir in garlic, bay leaves, paprika, Worcestershire, onion, beef broth and vegetables.

Cover and cook on low for 10 to 12 hours or high for 4 to 6 hours.  Mine was done on high after about 5 hours.
