SIOUX BERRY SOUP

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 lb Chuck steak, boned/trimmed
3 tb Peanut oil
1 md White onion, peeled/sliced
2 c Beef stock (up to 3 cups)
1 c Blackberries
1 tb Honey
Salt to taste

Broil the chuck steak in the oven until brown on both
sides. In the old days this would have been done over
the fire, so you might wish to quickly barbeque the
meat in order to increase the flavor. Set the meat
aside to cool.

In a Dutch oven heat the oil and brown the onions. Cut
the meat into bite-size pieces and add to the pot. Add
the blackberries and enough beef stock to barely cover
the meat. Stir in the honey and simmer the meat,
covered, until it is very tender, about 1 hour. If the
berries are too tart add more honey to taste. Add salt
and serve in bowls.

Smith recommends servings this with Bacon Corn Bread
and Hominy Baked with Cheese.
