Method

  • Cut meat into 1 inch pieces.
  • Roll in blended salt, pepper, paprika, and flour to coat each piece.
  • Then brown the meat in the fat in a large pot.
  • This browning gives rich, brown gravy and extra flavor to the meat.

  • Cover and cook another 30 mintes or until the vegetables are tender.
