marinate four days.) When ready to cook, remove meat (saving marinade) and dry
well. Rub surface lightly with flour. Heat oil or shortening in Dutch oven and
slowly brown meat well on all sides. Add 1 cup of the marinade liquid plus some
of the vegetables and bay leaves. Cover tightly an simmer on surface heat or in a
350 degree oven for 3 to 4 hours until meat is fork tender. If needed, add more
marinade during cooking to keep at least 1/2 inch liquid in the Dutch oven.

separate. Remove fat, then make gravy. Makes 8 servings. Combine above
