Sweet Potato Stew

Cut a pound of round steak into small pieces, put into a granite ware saucepan, cover with hot water and place on the stove. When about to boil, remove the cover and carefully skim off the dark scum which will rise to the top. Put a small piece of butter and salt and pepper to taste, two or three onions cut small and the same number of tomatoes. Then pare and cut up three or four sweet potatoes and with these completely cover the other ingredients. Allow it to boil quickly for a few minutes, then simmer for two or three hours. This stew will bear reheating, as the sweet potatoes never become sodden like their Irish cousins. Emelia Cowell.
