Beef Fricot

QTY	MEASURE	INGREDIENT	PREPARATION
1-2	lb	Beef, chuck	Cubed
1	lb	Potatoes, Yukon Gold	Peeled, cubed
1		Onion, yellow	Roughly chopped
4	cup	Broth, beef
1	tsp	Savory
		Butter

1 Dredge the beef in the flour, coating each piece and shaking off excess. Briefly sear the beef in oil and butter over medium-high heat to brown on each side. Remove and set aside. 

2 In the same oil, sauté the onions until soft, about 5 min. Deglaze with a little water or stock, scraping up any browned bits that remain. 

3 Add the beef, potatoes, cooked onions with liquid, broth and seasonings to a heavy pot or slow cooker. Bring to a simmer and cook over low heat, covered, for 4-6 hours or until all ingredients are tender and cooked through. Season to taste. 

Finish with finely chopped chives. Serve with crusty bread.
