Method

In Dutch oven or heavy casserole with cover, slowly brown meat on all sides in hot shortening. Season generously with salt and pepper. Add water; cover and simmer 2½ to 3 hours, or until meat is tender. Remove from kettle; allow to stand 20 minutes, then slice thinly.
Pour off pan juices and save for another use. Heat butter in kettle until it bubbles and browns.
