The kids should like reading this one...it's an adaptation of a recipe from a July 1968 cookbook that was published by the local newspaper. I bought it at a garage sale and was entertained for hours by the great sounding recipes and the sponsor's ads. A new gas range, $118; a new full size refrigerator with automatic defrosting! $168... Mary Ferris had submitted a version of this recipe.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 tablespoons oil, divided
2 lbs beef, cut into 1 inch cubes
1/2 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon chili powder
4 medium onions, sliced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
5 -6 cups water
1 teaspoon red pepper (or less, to taste)
3/4 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
peas and carrots (optional)
steamed rice
hot sauce

Steps:

  • In a large heavy kettle, heat 3 tablespoons oil.

  • While this is cooking, add nutmeg and chili powder.
  • When meat is browned, add onion, garlic, water, red pepper to taste, and tomato sauce.
  • Simmer until meat is tender, about 1 hour.
  • If desired, add carrots and peas while stew is simmering.
  • A few minutes before serving, heat peanut butter and remaining 2 tablespoons oil (this can be done in the microwave).
  • Stir peanut butter mixture into beef stew over low heat.
  • Let simmer 15 minutes, until peanut butter is absorbed.
  • Serve over steamed rice with hot sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of meat. Elephant stew is traditionally made with tough, gamey cuts of meat, such as the shoulder or flank. These cuts become tender and flavorful when cooked slowly in a stew.
  • Brown the meat before stewing. Browning the meat adds flavor and color to the stew. Be sure to brown the meat in batches so that it doesn't overcrowd the pan and steam instead of brown.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. Elephant stew is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Any type of vegetable can be added to the stew, but some common choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and tomatoes.
  • Season the stew well. Elephant stew should be well-seasoned with salt, pepper, and other spices. Common spices used in elephant stew include garlic, cumin, coriander, and paprika.
  • Cook the stew low and slow. Elephant stew should be cooked low and slow for at least 2 hours, or until the meat is tender. The longer the stew cooks, the more flavorful it will be.
  • Serve the stew with your favorite sides. Elephant stew can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, pasta, or bread. It can also be served with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt.

Conclusion:

Elephant stew is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a crowd. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal, give elephant stew a try!
