Tzimmes is a stew and cooked slowly with a variety of vegetables,( esp carrots and sweet potatoes ) with beef, fruit and starches like beans, barley etc. It's a stick to your ribs meal. Because of huge Hurricane Irene slowing approaching us in New England,I figured if power goes out, our family would reheat this large and slow cooked meal ( hence the name, nothing ill intended ) on our propane camping stove.

Ingredients
- 1 beef flank steak or beef brisket ( I used about 2 lbs ) trimmed of any excess fat shopping list

- 2 large green bell peppers cut in chunks shopping list
- 1 head of garlic ( or as you like ) peeled and smashed shopping list

How to make it
- In a large crock pot, place the vegetables,barley, and liquids .
- Top with the meat. Place the prunes , smashed garlic and chipotle peppers over the meat. Sprinkle with some salt and pepper
- Be sure your vegetables are cut in consistent size pieces for best cooking
- Cook either high 4-6 hours or until vegetables and meat are tender or low 8 -12 hours. Different cookers vary so check halfway through cooking times.
- The consistency should be like a thick stew. with barley and prunes absorbing some of the liquids
- Once cooked, shred the beef with a fork.
- Serve as you prefer, with meat piled over the stew or stew piled over the meat, or mix in all together!
- Note: one can vary the kinds of vegetables, add some honey as a sweetener
- I love the kick of chipotle and spice, so spice up the dish with some cinnamon, chipotle powder, cumin etc. to your liking
- Also freezes well and flavors improve with age!
