Jeff Smiths own:
Biafran Stew

1 1/2 lbs chuck steak, cubed
2 1/2 lbs chicken pieces
1 28-oz can whole tomatoes
1 green pepper, coarsely chopped
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 tsp. Tabasco sauce
salt and pepper to taste
Peanut oil for frying
Instructions

Heat the oil in a large pot. Brown the beef. Add the remaining ingredients, mix, cover and simmer for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until cooked.

Answer 2

I did a bit of searching, too, and I can't find the recipe, specifically. I even ran across the "from memory" recipe you talked about (from someone with a US Military email). What I did learn, however, is that the recipe appears in Mr. Smith's book, "The Frugal Gourmet Cooks with Wine" (1989). It's available through Amazon (etc) for as little as $3 or $4. I also found that it's available at most community and university libraries. I don't plan on going to the library today, but you might check your local branch--at least it'll be free to borrow.

I threw away all of his books after he tricked me into believing that Port Wine Pudding... would be something I would actually be interested in eating... No such luck!

It was THEE MOST... DISgusting thing I have ever eaten... ever!

and yes... I love good wine.

I wasted a perfectly good bottle of Sandeman's on that crap recipe! So no Frugal Gormet anything!
