INSTRUCTIONS

Melt shortening in steam-jacketed kettle. Add beef; brown well on all sides. Add salt, pepper, onions, garlic, and hot water to beef. Cover kettle. Simmer 3 to 3 1/2 hours or until beef is tender. Add small amounts of water as required. Remove cooked beef. Combine flour and 2 qt cold water until smooth; add to stock, stirring constantly. Cook 15 minutes or until slightly thickened. Serve over sliced meat.
