| 'Arrange 2 lb raw beef cubes in a pan large enough to hold a single layer. Do not brown. Cut potatoes,carrots,onions,and celery in good size chunks. Layer vegetables on top of the meat Mix 8 oz can of tomato sauce with 1 canof water and 1 t. sugar Pour over mixture; salt and pepper to taste. Last of all,scatter 2 t. quick cooking tapioca on top. Don''t stir in. Seal tightly in heavy foil. Place in 325 degree oven for at least 2 hours. Even another hour doesnt hurt much. Dont peek during recommended cooking time of 2 hrs. When foil removed,meat is nicely browned with perfect gravy. Don?t use too much tapioca or gravy will be too thick' |
