Comfort Stew

Submitted by Nerd on the Fireline on 11/10/03.

lbs red meat (beef, venison, elk) cut into 1 ½ to 2” chunks, browned1/2lbpepper bacon, cut into ½ strips, shortwise
2 cups pearl onions, blanched1cup  mushrooms
4  carrots, cut into largish chunks2cupsred wine
 

Additional options: Red chile powder, garlic, potatoes, black pepper, a bay leaf, tarragon, Northwoods seasoning.

Put all in a large pot, and cover with ½ beef broth and ½ water. 

Stew until meat falls apart when poked vigorously with a fork (Nerd is a firm believer in the drama of cooking). Then refrigerate over night, and remove solidified fat off the top with a slotted spoon, reheat and eat.
