I can totally concur with that. I only floured my beef, because I read 'somewhere' that, that was what had to be done. nowhere have I found, that it is an 'unbreakable' rule. Also, I found that the flour did stick to the bottom of the pan (aluminium (English spelling)). I transferred it to another pan (more washing up) To which it also stuck. So my latest purchase, was a 'non stick' stew pan. Oh Yes! Beef stew Mk II will be very different.
