Beef Stew  Cow_Goofy.gif (34775 bytes)

Sure, you can buy your stew in a can; along with other ingredients that one can't pronounce.  But when you cook and render your stew during the afternoon, your home fills with the inviting mouth-watering aroma of a dinner to be savored.

I thank Joann Gardner from Cape Breton Farm in Nova Scotia for this recipe.  Enjoy!

Your Host,  Brad

Suet
2 pounds stewing meat
flour, salt and pepper
1 whole carrot, sliced into bite-sized pieces
1 large onion, sliced
3 medium potatoes, quartered
1 clove garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups dry red wine (optional)
1 cup water
thyme, marjoram, parsley

 

Cut the suet into small pieces and cook until fat is rendered.   Discard suet.

Cut stewing meat into pieces and roll in a mixture of salt-and-peppered flour.  Cook meat in fat until brown.

Add garlic and onion, herbs, wine and hot water.  Cover pot and simmer for three hours.  Add carrots and potatoes during the last half hour.

Salt and pepper to taste.  Serves 6-8.
