Title: Country-Style Stew
Categories: None
Yield: 10 Servings

3 lb Stewing Beef, cut in
-bite-sized cubes (up to 4)
2 sm Turnips, diced
10 Carrots, cut in large chunks
-(up to 12)
4 Median-sized Onions,
-quartered (up to 5)
Potatoes if desired (very
-large cubes)
Approximately 1 Cup Flour
Allspice Seasoning (try 2
-tsp, increase while
-cooking, if desired)
Salt and Pepper
Other spices if desired, I
-added a tbsp basil
2 c Water or beef broth (up to
-3)

Prepared Claybaker--immerse all parts in room temperature water for minimum
of 30 minutes. Claybaker is placed in cold oven and temperature at
approximately 450 degrees for 45 minutes and then turned down to 325-350
degrees until cooked. A stockpot can be substituted for the claybaker.

1. Mix flour, spices, salt and pepper together. Use less spices initially
and increase allspice while stew is cooking to taste.

2. Roll cubed stewing beef in above mixture and place in cold claybaker (or
stockpot).

3. Onions are added with stewing beef and water or beef broth.

4. Add turnips and carrots after beef has cooked about 1 hour. Check if
additional liquid is needed.

5. Potatoes are added--if desired--in the last hour or so. I preferred
mashed potatoes or rice as a side dish instead of including potatoes in the
stew. Leftovers freeze well.
