Steps:
- Soak beans overnight and drain next day. In a Dutch oven, brown onions in hot oil on medium heat. Remove onions and set aside.
- Rub the meat with a combination of salt, pepper and paprika and then brown the meat in the same pot that you browned the onions.
- While the onions were browning, in a separate pot, start to boil enough water to cover the meat.
- When the meat is browned, add the lima beans, garlic, potatoes, and bay leaf, onions and mix together. Add the flour at the end. Pour boiling water over the mixture just to cover it. Cover the pot tightly and bring to a boil.
- At this stage you can do one of two things: 1) If you wish to cook overnight to observe Sabbath guidelines of no cooking, heat oven to 400 degrees and set a rack to accommodate your Dutch Oven. Place Dutch oven into the oven and reduce heat to 250 and cook overnight until noon the next day, OR: 2) Continue to cook on the stove for 3-4 hours on low heat. You may need to add a little water now and then to maintain a gravy-like consistency with the meat (check the meat every hour or so), stirring occasionally.

CHOLENT
The overnight Jewish stew, cholent, is typically started on Friday afternoon and allowed to cook overnight to be eaten at noon on the Sabbath. It is a flavorful, comforting slurry of beef short ribs, beans, potatoes, onions, honey and smoked paprika. This version is made in a slow cooker so those observing Sabbath need not tend to it.

Cook on low for 12 to 15 hours, stirring occasionally (except during Shabbat, for those who observe it), adding more water if necessary. The longer the cholent cooks, the better it will be.

BEEF STEW/ CHOLENT FOR CROCK POT
I worked on my stew recipe for several years before I perfected it to what it is today! Every time I serve this for Shabbat lunch, it's completely devoured. It's ultra simple and always comes out great. If you're making this for shabbos, cook it fully Friday afternoon and keep the crockpot on the "warm" setting until serving. You can also make the recipe by substituting one can of chicken stock with a can of beer.

This recipe took me twelve years to perfect, and includes secrets I learned from ten different families. Cholent is meant to be experimented with.
