I'm off to make some stew...........

[Count-A-Strong]

1) Should I seal the meat (beef) first and what temp should i cook it at?
2) Also should I par-cook some of the longer-to-cook veg first or just bung it all in?
3) We dont need it till tonight, so what temp should i cook it at?

Many thanks

Sorry guys, been off prepping the food. Have sealed the meat with flour have all veg chopped. Should the stock / water just about cover the meat n veg ( no rude comments please)? Are onions essential?
Craft-about half seven.
