Sprinkle the beef with Accent, 1 teaspoon of salt, pepper and herbs. Brown beef evenly on all sides in hot fat; add 1/2 cup of water. Cover tightly and simmer for 2 1/2  - 3 hours or until meat is almost tender; add remaining waster as needed. Add potatoes, carrots, onions and remaining salt; cover and cook 20 -30 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Remove meat and vegetables to a hot platter. Measure liquid, adding water to make 2 cups; return to kettle. Blend flour with 1/2 cup of cold water to make a smooth paste. Add flour paste to liquid in kettle, stirring briskly to prevent lumping.
