Hearty Beef Stew

2 packages McCormick Beef Stew Seasoning Mix
2 lbs. lean stew beef, cut into bite size pieces
1/4 cup flour
3 tbsp olive oil
6 cups water
1 small bag or 1/2 large bag baby carrots
3-4 potatoes, peeled and cut into bite size pieces
2 cans peas (I like Del Monte Organics)do not drain liquid.
2 glasses of your fav red wine - one for the stew and one for you of course!

Heat oil in a large stock pot or dutch oven over med-high heat. Toss beef and flour together in a gallon baggies to coat. Brown beef chunks on all sides. Add water and seasoning mix, stir to combine. Reduce heat to simmer and cook one hour, stirring occasionally. Add veges and wine and continue cooking until potatoes & carrots are tender. Serve with a nice salad and crusty french bread.
