Ingredients: to yield approx. 1.5 quarts
¼ cup vegetable oil 2 lbs. stew meat*
1 cup sliced onions 1 clove minced garlic
½ cup chopped carrots ½ cup chopped bell peppers
½ cup tomato paste ¼ cup brown sugar
2 tsp. paprika 2 ½ cups water or beef stock
½ tsp. thyme ½ tsp. rosemary
½ cup cider vinegar
* Use any kind of meat… venison, beef, pork, lamb, boar, or a combination of these.
Method:
- In a stockpot, heat oil and brown the meat. Remove meat from the pan when done and set aside.
- In the same pot, sauté onions, garlic, peppers, and carrots just until partially cooked.
- Add the meat back into the pot along with the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil.
- Turn down to a simmer and cook for 2 hours. The liquid will reduce and the stew will thicken as it cooks.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
If you want to make it sweeter, add more brown sugar.
