God is able to work with or without human means. Though He most often uses them, He is not dependent upon them. Furthermore, He will frequently use some means altogether different from that which we would have expected. Sometimes our prayers for deliverance from some particular strait are accompanied by faith to the extent we can foresee some predictable means of deliverance. But God is not dependent upon means that we can foresee. In fact, it seems from experience that God delights to surprise us by His ways of deliverance to remind us that our trust must be in Him and Him alone.

INSTRUCTIONS

MARINADE
STEW
Mix all the marinade ingredients in a large bowl. Add the meat to marinade,
stir well to ensure that all the beef is coated. Leave meat in the marinade
for as long as possible. The secret of this dish lies in the time allowed
for marinading and the long, slow cooking that follows.
Place the meat, together with the marinade into a heavy casserole. Sift in
the flour. Add the tomatoes and mushrooms. Cover with the beef stock and
set to cook on lowest temperature possible, for two to three hours or until
the meat is tender. During cooking, taste for acidity and add a pinch or
two of sugar, if necessary.
A little cream may be added to the stew at the end of the cooking period,
if desired.
Serve with boiled potatoes.
