1. In a skillet and a little olive oil, brown the stewing beef for additional flavor.
2. Combine everything EXCEPT the flour and the tomato paste in a slow cooker; stir to combine.
3. Cover. Cook on Low for 8 to 9 hours or on High for 4 to 5, until the beef is tender and the potatoes are fork tender.
4. Stir the stew once or twice as it cooks, if possible.
5. About 30 minutes before serving, transfer a ladle full of the broth to a small mixing bowl.
6. Add the flour and tomato paste and whisk until smooth. Stir the mixture into the stew and cook for the remaining half hour.

NOTE: Rutabaga can be omited, but if you do, increase the potatoes and carrots.
