2. Add the onions, celery and garlic. Continue to cook until the vegetables are wilted and golden (about 6 minutes). Season the mixture with salt and pepper.

3. Add the stock, deglaze the pan if needed. Add the potatoes and carrots. Bring the liquid to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer, coer and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until meat is very tender, stirring occasionally.

4. Remove 1 cup of stew into a blender and blend to make a thick rue. Add the rue back into the stew and let thicken. Season to taste.
