3 lb Round steak, cut into bite
Size pieces
Sweet Acorns (enough to make
3/4 c Acorn flour)
Salt
Cook beef (elk or deer meat) in about 1 quart of water. Let it simmer
for about 3 hours or until meat is well done. Salt to taste. Shell
acorns and grind them into very fine flour until you have
approximately 3/4 cup of flour. Strain the broth from the meat (it
will be used later). Shred the meat and, placing it in a wooden bowl,
mix it with the acorn flour. (Note: metal utensils or bowl will
discolor the flour) Pour hot broth over the mixture and stir. It is
now ready to serve in individual bowls. Usually served with fry bread.
