Name: Beef Stew with Mushrooms
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 2 h 10 min
Total time: 2 h 30 min
Ingredients: 2¼ lb beef shoulder (chuck) (cut into ½-inch (1.5 cm) pieces); 2 large red onions (sliced into rings); 1 package white button mushrooms (1 container (8-9 oz), sliced); 1 package portobello mushrooms (1 container, sliced); 1 cup all-purpose flour; ½ tsp ground turmeric; 1 pinch white pepper; salt (to taste); oil for frying; water (as needed)

How I make it

Put the flour and beef in a bag and shake until every piece is coated.
Sear the beef in oil for 3-4 minutes and remove.
Sauté the onions and mushrooms in oil for about 4 minutes.
Transfer to a pot with the beef, add water just to cover, season and bring to a boil.
Cover and cook over medium heat for about 2 hours, until the beef is tender. Stir from time to time.

What I've learned

Toward the end, as the stew starts to thicken, I stir all the way down with a ladle, because the flour tends to stick to the bottom of the pot.
