2 to 3 lb. English cut flanken
1 or 2 (1 inch) marrow bones
Water
Salt and pepper to taste
2 stalks celery, diced
1 onion, diced
2 pkg. dried imported mushrooms
6 fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 pkg. frozen mixed vegetables

Fill pot with flanken and marrow bones. Add enough water to barely cover the meat. Bring slowly to a boil and skim the top. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add celery and onion and dried mushrooms. Slowly simmer with the pot partially covered so that the steam can escape. Simmer until meat is soft and very tender, for at least 2 hours. About 10 minutes before serving add sliced fresh mushrooms and a package frozen mixed vegetables.
