This recipe is my own creation. All who taste it rave and say it should be entered in a cooking contest. It's the perfect winter weather meal. For lack of a better name I call it...

Red Beef Stew

4lbs of beef stew meat, diced in med. size pieces
Lawry's Seasoning Salt, or brand of your choice
Garlic salt or powder
Flour for coating meat
cooking oil for browning meat
1 large can of V-8 juice
1 large yellow onion, diced in med. size pieces
6 large cloves of garlic, sliced
6 carrots, sliced in one third to one half inch slices (not thin)
7 medium size potatoes, diced in med. size pieces
1 pkg of frozen petite baby peas

Season meat generously with seasoning salt and garlic powder.
Roll in flour and place in hot frying pan with enough cooking oil to brown the meat.
Cook only until the meat is browned, but still rare inside.
Transfer browned meat to eight quart cooking pot. Pour the lrg. can of V-8 juice over the meat.
Add the onions, garlic, carrots and potatoes.
Cover and cook over med/low heat until vegetables and meat are tender, approx. 45 min. Stir often.

Just before serving (not before, or it detracts from their flavor and color), add the frozen peas and cook no more than five minutes. Salt and pepper to taste.

Serve with your favorite hot rolls or bread.
