Ingredients

2 pounds Top round beef, 1-inch cubes

4 cups Boiling water

1 tablespoon Lemon juice

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

1/4 teaspoon Garlic salt

1 Sliced onion

2 Bay leaves

1 tablespoon Salt

1 teaspoon Sugar

1/2 teaspoon Pepper

1/2 teaspoon Paprika

1/2 teaspoon Allspice

6 Sliced carrots

4 cups Quartered potatoes

Preparation

Brown meat on all sides in hot greased Dutch oven. Add seasonings, onions & water. Cover & simmer 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Remove bay leaves.

Add carrots & potatoes. Thicken juice by adding mixture of 1/2 cup water & 1/4 cup flour. Cook 5-10 minutes more & allow to thicken, stirring occasionally. Do not put peas or green beans in stew. This changes it to a Mulligan, and that's something else again.
