Dust meat with seasoned flour, save excess. Heat oil in large Dutch oven with tight fitting cover. Brown meat on all sides. As you turn browned meat, spread mustard over browned side. Add onions, salt and garlic. Pour broth over top. Place spice packet in broth to cover. Bring to boil. Cover pot and reduce heat to simmer 2 1/2 hours until meat is tender.
