Molasses-Beef Curry

½ cup all-purpose flour

¼ teaspoon salt

1 dash ground black pepper

1 pound cubed beef stew meat

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 onion, diced

3 cups beef stock

2 bay leaves

2 tablespoons curry powder

2 carrots, diced

¼ cup rice vinegar

1 tablespoon molasses

3 potatoes, cut into 1/4 inch cubes

Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a bowl, then add beef, tossing to coat. Shake off excess flour. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onions and beef until browned. Stir in beef stock, bay leaves, and curry powder. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Stir in carrots, rice vinegar, molasses, and potatoes and simmer for an additional hour until tender.
