Beef Stew Brown Recipe

Take one pound of round steak, cut in small pieces and sprinkle with

salt and pepper. Put a little suet in a hot kettle, or melt two

tablespoons of butter, and add a couple of slices of dry onion, turning

frequently until brown, then put in the meat. Stir to keep from

scorching until well seared on all sides, cover with boiling water, and

set on the back of the stove to simmer for at least three hours. As it

boils down, allow to brown before filling up again, and have the meat

covered with the broth when done. Thicken with two tablespoons of flour

stirred to a smooth paste in half a cup of cold water. Add more salt

then if necessary. Send to the table in a covered dish, and serve with

mashed potatoes.
