Melt shortening in large saucepan.  Add onions and shallots.  Saute 5

Dredge meat in flour, shaking off excess.  Add meat to onion mixture.
Saute until meat is lightly browned, about 10 minutes.  Add beef
broth.  Cook until meat is almost done, about 30 minutes.

Add carrots, celery, leeks and tomatoes.  Cover and simmer over
medium heat about 20 minutes.  Add potatoes and cook 20 to 25 minutes
or until potatoes and vegetables are done.  Add more beef broth, if
necessary.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.
