Sorry for silly question, but the ingredient list says ” ½ sleeve celery $0.65 “. do you mean 1/2 of a stalk or 1/2 of a bunch of celery? [...]
Beth M says:
Yes, I meant a half bunch. Sorry about the confusion! :) I used about 4 stalks or so. They cook down quite a bit.
Also there's a picture of the ingredients used:
So 4-5 stalks appears to be intended amount of celery. A recipe like this though is going to pretty flexible so if that seems like too much or too little it shouldn't be a problem if you go outside that range.

My best guess is that the recipe is referring to the bag ("sleeve") that a whole celery heart comes in.
Half a celery heart (about 6-8 stalks?) seems to be on par with the volume of 4 medium carrots.

I was looking at the same recipe and googled "what is a sleeve of celery?" and found your question. Then I realized that on the version I'm looking at, when I scrolled down, the author had shown pictures of the ingredients. 4 carrots, 1 onion, and..... 5 CELERY STALKS. So, that's what I'm going with. I also like the answer of eye-balling it according to how much celery you want in proportion to the beef and carrots. I don't like celery that well, but I'm going to use 5 stalks and hope it comes out okay.
