Ingredients
- 2 lbs. beef stewing meat
- 2 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.
