Guyanese Beef Stew

== Ingredients ==
¼ cup flour
* ¼ tbsp black pepper
* 1 lb beef stewing meat, trimmed and cut into one-inch cubes
* 5 tbsp vegetable oil
* 2 tbsp vinegar
* 1 cup red wine (optional)
* 3 beef bouillon cubes
* 2 bay leaves

== Directions ==
# Combine the flour and pepper in a bowl.
# Add the beef and toss to coat well.
# Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large pot.
# Add the beef a few pieces at a time; do not overcrowd.
# Cook, turning the pieces until beef is browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch.
# Add more oil as needed between batches.
# Remove the beef from the pot and add vinegar and wine.
# Cook over medium-high heat, scraping the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen any brown bits.
# Add the beef, diluted bouillon cubes, and bay leaves.
# Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
# Cover and cook, skimming broth from time to time, until the beef is tender, about 90 minutes.
# Add the onions and carrots and simmer, covered for ten minutes.
# Add the potatoes and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes more.
# Season with salt and pepper to taste.
