BEEF IN CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• In dutch oven slowly brown meat on all sides in hot shortening.
• Season generously with salt and pepper.
• Add water; cover and simmer (not boil) for about 3 hours or until meat is very tender.
• Remove meat from dutch oven and allow to stand 20 minutes, then slice thinly.
• Save pan juices for another use.
• Cream Sauce: Heat butter in saucepan until it bubbles and browns very slightly.
• Add cream, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
• Cook over medium heat about 3 minutes.
• Spoon half of the sauce in a glass, heat proof 9x12 cake pan or casserole dish.
• Arrange meat slices, overlapping in the sauce.
• Pour remaining sauce over the top.
• Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• I usually make this the day before and refrigerate to allow all of the flavors to blend with the meat.
• When ready to prepare, allow dish to set out for about 30 minutes while oven is heating to 350°F It usually takes 20-35 minutes to heat through.
