Salt generously and dredge in flour until evenly coated. In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, melt butter. I made it once with short ribs but switched to making it with pre-cut stew meat. The sauce is delicious--a cross between pot roast flavor and beef burgandy. I chop my veggies up very small so they melt into the sauce then I add some bigger chunks of carrots onions and celery to stew with the meat.
