4 to 6 lb. round steak (use plenty of meat)
1 to 2 lb. carrots, cut up
1 to 2 lb. celery, cut small
1 lb. turnips, cut into chunks
1 large onion, peeled and cooked awhile
4 to 6 c. potatoes, diced
2 cans stewed tomatoes (whole)

Use 4-gallon stew pot. Add 2 gallons of water to start. You may add more water later if you need it. Add all veggies, except potatoes, and cook for 30 minutes on medium heat. Add pre-cooked meat and potatoes; cook another 30 minutes. Add seasoning and simmer until ready to eat.

Seasoning:

6 to 8 bay leaves
10 tbsp. lemon juice
10 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
10 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. pepper
6 tbsp. salt

Boil until almost all done. Taste. You can add up to 4 more tablespoons of salt (one at a time; taste between each).
