Recipe - Tayleea Cheecha (Romulan Beef And Fruit Stew)

1 One half tablespoon Cooking oil
1 One half pound Stew beef
1 cup Apple cider
1 Onion; cut into chunks
One fourth cup Raisin; or 8 pitted prunes
1 cn Mushrooms (4 oz); undrained
16 Dried apricot halves
1 teaspoon Salt
1/8 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
1 Slice of lemon
2 tablespoon Cornstarch
2 tablespoon Water

Heat the oil in the pan and brown the beef chunks all over. Add the cider
and reduce the heat until the contents of the pan are just simmering. Add
everthing else except the cornstarch and the water. Simmer for about 2
hours, or until the meat is quite tender. Then mix the cornstarch in the
water and add it to the meat mixture. Cook for a few more minutes until the
sauce is thickened. Serve with either hot buttered rice or boiled potatoes
with parsley and brown butter.
