Beef Stew contributed by gayla
3 lbs beef cubes 1 Tbsp shortening 1 red onion coarsely shopped 2 tsp salt; pepper 2 Tablespoon flour 2 cups canned tomatoes with juice 1 tsp dry mustard 1 turnip cut into small cubes 4 peeled potatoes (figure on 1 potato per person) 2 cups diced celery 8 or more carrots peeled cut into bite sized pieces 2 cloves of garlic 8 pearl onions 4 cups water (may be more water you need to cover ingredients)
Brown beef cubes in shortening . Place browned beef cubes and drippings into a large, heavy pot. Add red onion, salt, pepper and dry mustard. Stir in flour and add canned tomatoes with juice. Cover and cook slowly for about 1 hour or until meat is tender. ( I use my Dutch oven for this )
Add vegetables and water. Cover and simmer at least 1 to 2 hours until the vegetables and potatoes are tender. Serve hot. Fresh baked bread is excellent with this old time stew.
