Green beans and beef

1 lb beef [very thin slices or hamburger]
1/2 cup diced round onion
1/2 diced celery
1-2 cup green beans cut to 2" length [canned is OK]
1-2 tbs garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
Jalapeno (optional)

In an oiled skillet place beef, salt and pepper to taste. Stir occasionally. Add onion and celery. Season again. Add green beans and garlic and cover to simmer until tender.

If you want a thickened gravy: mix a 1:1 mixture of butter and flour, and add stirring constantly. Let bubble until thick.

If you like it spicy add 1 jalapeno diced.
