    Never used a Dutch oven before. Should the lid be on in the oven?

    I would not recommend just throwing the rest of the dredging flower in to the sauce without making a roux first, the result will give you a raw flower taste to the stew. I also found the texture to be a little too thick (almost gel-like), so maybe lose the rest of the dredging flower all together, or at least reduce.
    A couple of additional notes: carrots and potatoes cook at about the same rate - so rather than cooking the carrots for 2 hours and the potatoes for 1 hour - I threw them both in at the same time and cooked for an hour & 20 minutes. I also added more thyme and fresh cracked pepper to taste.

    This recipe was fantastic. The only thing I would do different next time is add an additional cup of beef stock because it cooks down quite a bit. I used baby carrots and golden potatoes, and couldn’t be happier with the turn out.
