- 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1- to 1-1/2-inch pieces
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup chopped onion (1 medium)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups beef broth

This was one of the first dishes I prepared as the retired guy preparing dinner for his working wife. As we began to eat it, we both looked at each other and my wife said (with some surprise),"I can't believe how good this is (and implied I can't believe you did this!" Nevertheless, this will become a family recipe.
