Ingredients:
2 lbs. beef stewing meat2 lbs. beef bones 2 quarts water 2 cups carrots, diced 2 cups onions, diced 2 cups celery, diced 1 TB ground caraway 1 tsp. pepper 2 ea. bay leaves 2 TB jalapeno peppers, chopped fine 4 cups cooked potatoes, diced 2 TB beef base 1 cup oil 1 1/2 cups flour 1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce
Directions:
Throw the bones and the meat in a stewing pot and brown the meat. Then add water, carrots, onions, celery and spices, including the jalapeno peppers. Simmer 2 hours, then remove the bones. Add your beef base. If it tastes a bit salty to you, add more water. Thicken your stew with a roux (mix together 1 cup of oil and 1 1/2 cups flour) then add your potatoes. Simmer 15-20 minutes. Very often, when people thicken their stew like this they don't let it cook long enough and this causes the "floury taste".To finish it, add the secret ingredient--1 1/2 cups of your favorite barbecue sauce. Serve with homemade cornbread and a couple of Youper beers. And as always, a creative cook is a good cook. | |
