(from Common Sense in the Household by Marion Harland, 1871)
Ingredients:
2 lbs. stew beef
pepper & salt
sweet marjoram or summer savory
chopped onion
parsley
sauce or catsup
browned flour
optional: half a glass of wine
Instructions:
Cut up two pounds--not too lean--into pieces an inch long; put them into a saucepan with just enough water to cover them, and stew gently for two hours. Set away until next day morning, when season with pepper, salt, sweet marjoram or summer savory, chopped onion and parsley. Stew half an hour longer, and add a teaspoonful of sauce or catsup, and a tablespoonful of browned flour wet up with cold water; finally, if you wish to have it very good, half a glass of wine. Boil up once and pour into a covered deep dish. This is an economical dish, for it can be made of the commoner parts of the beef, and exceedingly nice for winter breakfasts.
