Slices Of Cow (sucadelappen)

Total Time: 6 hrs 10 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 6 hrs

Ingredients

• Servings: 3
• 1 1/2 lbs beef, in slices of 1/2-inch- 3/4-inch thick
• pepper
• salt
• 3/8 cup butter
• 3/8 cup margarine
• 1 -2 cup hot water

Recipe

• 1 sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the beef.
• 2 in a large pot, melt the butter and margarine over high heat, until it's starting to brown. mix well - the margarine will melt faster than the butter.
• 3 when the butter is browning, put the slices of beef in the pot (still over high heat) and turn after 1-2 minutes.
• 4 when the other side is browned too, add 1-2 cups of hot water (the beef should be covered), put the lid on and let simmer on the low heat (just a little bubbling in the pot)) for at least 6 hours.
• 5 when the beef is done, lift the beef from the pot and put in a bowl.
• 6 then, very carefully, drain off most of the molten butter/margarine from the pot. you should be left with a brown sludge that actually contains very little fat.
• 7 pour this thin gravy over the beef before serving, and also over some nice cooked potatoes. alternately, you could thicken with a little flour or cornstarch.
• 8 you won't need a knife - the beef falls apart if you cough.
