The details were sketchy on this recipe which isn't a surprise so I had to just feel my way though it. I started with some beef that I cubed up in stew sized pieces. Then I coated them with flour and salt and pepper and browned them in some canola oil. Some farmer's market veggies. Peeled and chopped with a bay leaf. Added to the stew meat with a cup or so of beef stock and some water. Don't forget the poultry seasoning since there was added wording that this was not a mistake. Voila - Beef Stew Before serving make some dumpling batter and then serve it up. And if you are wondering what the ???? mean - I don't know. So I added a a couple sprigs of thyme. It seemed to work out.
I have my grandmother's recipe box. Inside it, you will find some family favorites, some duplicate recipe cards written out at different times, some recipes with no names and many recipes without directions. I am going to randomly choose a recipe every week or so from her recipe box and you will see it here.
