    Recipe Introduction


    original recipe from Joe Barkson, the Chef at Worldwide Recipes

    List of Ingredients




    4 lbs (1.8 Kg) boneless stew meat cut into 2-inch (5 cm) pieces
    Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
    3 Tbs (45 ml) gf flour blend
    4 Tbs (60 ml) maragrine (or 3 tbsp oil)
    3 large onions, thinly sliced
    3 cups (760 ml) gf beer (or raw apple juice)
    1 tsp (5 ml) dried thyme
    2 bay (laurel) leaves
    2 Tbs (30 ml) red currant jelly
    1 Tbs (15 ml) red wine vinegar

    Recipe



    Season the beef generously with salt and pepper and dust lightly with flour.

    Heat half the margarine/oil in a large, heavy skillet over high heat and brown the beef in small batches until browned on all sides, transferring them to a large, heavy pot as they are done.

    Add the remaining margarine/oil to the same skillet and saute the onions until nicely browned, about 20 minutes.

    Transfer the onions to the pot with the beef.

    Deglaze the skillet with the gf beer, scraping up all the brown bits on the bottom of the pan, and add the beer to
    the pot.

    Stir in the thyme and bay leaf and bring to a boil over high heat.

    Reduce the heat and simmer covered until the meat is very tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

    Stir in the currant jelly and vinegar immediately
    before serving.

    Serves 6 to 8.
