Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the beef stew meat, flour, salt, and black pepper, tossing to coat the meat evenly.

- Add the pearl onions to the Dutch oven and cook for 5 minutes, or until they start to brown. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

- Add the carrots and potatoes to the stew, cover, and continue to simmer for an additional 1 hour, or until the meat and vegetables are tender.
