Ingredients

  • 1poundbeef stew meat, cut into 1/2 inch pieces

  • ¼poundbutter

  • salt to taste

  • ground black pepper to taste

  • paprika to taste

  • ground nutmeg to taste

Cooking Directions

  1. Simmer beef in 1/4 inch of water in a heavy medium saucepan. Stew until very tender, replacing water as necessary, about 2 to 3 hours. Drain, reserving the liquid.

  2. Pass cooked stew meat through a meat grinder twice, until it is the consistency of a thick, stringy paste.

  3. Melt butter in a small saucepan. Filter melted butter through clean muslin (cheesecloth) to remove milk solids.

  4. Mix cooked meat with 3/4 of the strained, melted butter in a medium bowl. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and nutmeg to taste. Stir in desired amount of reserved cooking liquid to moisten.

  5. Transfer the mixture to sterile containers and top with remaining butter. Seal and chill in the refrigerator until serving.
