  • Step 5: In a skillet heat oil over medium-high heat (use enough oil to coat the bottom of your skillet).

  • Step 6: Season the beef with seasoned salt and pepper; add to oil in batches and brown on all sides then add to the tomato mixture.

  • Step 7: To the skillet add in onions and cook for 3 minutes.

  • Step 8: Add in garlic, chili flakes and marjoram; cook stirring for 1 minute; transfer to the bowl that has the tomato/beef mixture in it.

  • Step 11: Add in the potatoes, carrots and celery.

  • Step 12: Place the baking dish onto a baking sheet to catch any spills.

  • Step 13: Cover with foil and bake in a preheated oven for 1-1/4 hours.
