Recipe Introduction


This recipe is from retired NYC Fire Commissioner John Mulligan.


List of Ingredients




4 lbs stewing beef, cut in 1 1/2 inch cubes
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
3/4 cup all-purpose flour, divided
2 tablespoons canola oil or any vegetable oil (you may need more)
3 large carrots, scraped and cubed
1 cup cubed turnips (peeled)
1 small onion, peeled and sliced into thin rings
4 large potatoes, preferably baking potatoes (peeled and cut into 1/2 inch slices)

Recipe



Sprinkle the beef with the salt and pepper and dredge in 1/2 cup of the flour, coating pieces well.
Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large cooking pot.
Brown the meat on all sides-- do this in batches-- over medium-high heat; use more oil as needed.
Set meat aside once browned.
Pour 1/2 cup water into the pot and scrape bottom and sides with a wooden spoon to dislodge all the brown bits.
Return meat to pot.
Add enough water to cover meat by one inch and bring to a boil; boil for 5 minutes.
Reduce heat and simmer meat for two hours; skim away any foam as necessary.
After two hours, add carrots, turnips, onion slices and potatoes to stew.
Simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 45 minutes; add water if necessary to barely cover the stew.
In a bowl or measuring cup, combine the remaining 1/4 cup flour with 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid and whisk to a smooth paste.
Whisk or stir into the stew; simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
Add salt and/or pepper to taste, and serve.
Note: The recipe doesn't call for any herbs or spices, but I would add some fresh herbs along with the vegetables; I would suggest fresh thyme and fresh parsley.

Serves 8-10.
