Get piece of long shoulder in piece with some beef suet.  Melt some suet or crisco in pan and when hot put meat into brown which has flour on both sides.  Slice small onion and put in meat, add a little hot water and cover, cooking on top of stove or in electric fry pan for couple hours with low temperature.

In cooking any kind of stew, don’t put too much water on it so it will brown the least bit, than add more water to finish cooking. The browning gives the stew a better flavor.
