This recipe comes from a cookbook that we have from the late 1800s. We've made it for years in my family and it always pleases when we make it. While it is called Breakfast Stew, we generally eat it for dinner. It take a while to cook but it's quite easy and very filling!

2 TBS butter
1 medium onion, chopped
2 pounds lean beef, cubed (we use sirloin)
1 cup beef broth
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp savory
1/2 tsp marjoram
1 tsp Worcestershire sause
1 tsp prepared mustard
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Few sprigs of fresh parsley, chopped

Melt butter in a saucepan, add onion, and cook until wilted. Dust beef cubes with flour, add the to the onion, and saute until well browned on all sides. Stir in broth, salt, pepper, savory and marjoram. Cover and cook over a low heat for about 1 1/2 hours or until very tender. Before serving, stir in remaining ingredients. Serve over toast, hot grits, steamed rice or with boiled potatoes. Serves 4.

We've never served it with hot grits :grr: but it also goes really well with egg noodles. We really do like it with potatoes.

Sounds good Sky! I'll bet this wouldn't be bad in the crockpot either.

Good point! Although, back in the 1800's, people did more before breakfast than some of us do all day now.

Yeah, from what I remember reading in the cookbook they would have come back in when it was light and started to eat this. Basically the woman would cook this for when they got back from doing the "before dawn" work.

I am sure evening meals were just as hearty! Very Happy
