Ingredients

  • meat (short ribs of beef, oxtails, veal shanks or liver), cut 1 1/2-inches thick
  • flour
  • salt
  • pepper
  • herbs (optional)

Instructions

  1. Take a sufficient portion of meat suitable for the number to be served.
  2. Cut the meat into serving-size pieces and dredge with flour.
  3. Brown the meat well in a heavy skillet; season with salt and pepper (herbs, if you like them).
  4. Slice onions over the top of the meat and add enough hot water to cover the meat.
  5. Simmer for about 1 1/2 hours, turning the meat several times. Veal and liver cook faster than beef.
  6. After cooking, remove the meat and thicken the gravy slightly, then add about 1/2 cup water.
  7. Pour the gravy over the meat or serve it separately.
