SH> cheap eye of round steaks

DD> I prefer chuck-eye steaks, when I can find them

My store just sells large blade and chuck pot roasts. But they all
have nice steaks hidden inside them if you know how to get at them.

     Title: Beef Stew (Pot Au Feu)
Categories: Beef, Stew, French, Potatoes, Onion
     Yield: 8 Servings

     3 lb Boneless beef rump; tied
     3 lb Beef marrow bones; sawed
          -into 3 to 4-inch pieces
     1    Veal knuckle; sawed into
          -pieces
     2 qt Beef stock
     2 tb Butter
     2    Onions
     2    Carrots; peeled, quartered
     1 md Tomato; peeled, seeded,
          -chopped
     1    Bouquet garni
     6    Whole peppercorns
          Salt
          VEGETABLES:
     6    Carrots; peeled, cut into
     2    Inch long pieces
     3    Turnips; peeled, chopped
     4 lg Leeks; cleaned, tied
     6    New potatoes; scrubbed,
          -quartered

 To prepare the meat, place the rump along with the bones and
 knuckle into an 8 quart stew pot. Add the beef stock. Cover and
 bring to a boil. Remove all the foam and scum from the surface of
 the water.

 Melt the butter in a skillet and saute the onions and carrots for
 5 to 6 minutes.

 Meanwhile, reduce the heat under the pot of meat and skim the
 stock again. Add the onions and carrots to the stock. Also add the
 tomato, bouquet garni, the peppercorns and salt. Skim again.
 Partially cover the pot and simmer slowly, skimming as necessary,
 for 2-1/2 hours. The meat should be almost tender when pierced
 with a knife. Transfer the meat to a plate and cover. Remove the
 bones from the stock and scoop out the marrow. Reserve marrow and
 discard bones.

 Strain the stock through a fine sieve. Discard the vegetables and
 skim the surface fat from the stock. Clean the pot, then return
 the sieved stock to it. Return the meat to the stock and add the
 following "vegetables":

 Bring the stock to a boil and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.
 Transfer the meat to a carving board, remove the strings, and
 carve the roast into thin slices. Arrange on a heated platter.
 Place vegetables around meat. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of
 chopped parsley, if desired. Add chopped marrow to stock and skim
 as much fat as possible from the stock. Serve along with meat and
 vegetables, if desired.
