Nancy, I will copy the recipe just as it is in my book. Hope this is what you want.
Beef Stew Gaston Source: Joy of Cooking, 1975 edition; page 459
This one-dish meal seems to taste better when cooked a day ahead.
Cut into small pieces and, if very salty, par blanch 1/2 lb salt pork. Dry and sauté the pork slowly in a large skillet.
Cut into pieces: 2 lbs. stewing beef Brown the beef in the hot drippings over high heat. Spoon off most of the accumulated fat.
Sprinkle the meat with: Seasoned Flour.
Combine and heat until boiling: 1 1/2 cloves of garlic, chopped 1 large chopped onion 1 cup bouillon 1 cup canned tomato sauce 12 peppercorns 3 whole cloves 1/4 cup chopped parsley 1/3 bay leaf
Place meat in a heavy saucepan. Pour above ingredients over it.
Simmer covered 2 to 3 hours or until meat can be easily pierced with a fork.
During the last hour of cooking, add: 1/2 cup dry white wine
