Tonight's hearty stew is named for LGBT hero Denise D’Anne an early advocate for rights and recognition. Read about her in a quick article after the recipe.
Here is a simple recipe that bakes in the oven so you don't have to stand over it to get that old time taste. It is just in time for the latest storm, stay warm!
Ingredients:
¼ cup flour, or as needed
1 tsp paprika
2 lbs beef roast
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 onions, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
2 carrots, peeled and chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups beef broth low salt
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Take the roast out of the refrigerator and sprinkle well with salt. Let sit to come to room temperature, about 30 mins.
Chop the onion, celery and carrots, trim any big places of fat off the roast.
Remove top rack in oven to make sure the dutch oven fits, then preheat to 300 degrees F .
Wipe off the meat with a paper towel to dry. With a carving knife slice the roast side wise into half to make thinner like you were cutting a hot dog bun open.
Heat oil in a dutch oven.
Pour flour into a dish and mix with paprika. Turn beef in flour, shaking meat to remove excess flour. Brown meat on both sides, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer beef to a plate. Do the second piece. Remove to cutting board.
Add onion, celery, and carrots to the dutch oven, reduce heat to medium, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Pour in ½ cup of broth. Stir up the fond from bottom of pot.
While that cooks, carve up the meat into cubes about 1 and a half inches in size.
Return beef to pot, pour in the 2 cups of broth and cover.
Bake in the preheated oven until beef is tender, 1½ to 2 hours. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
This hearty meal is just fine served in a big bowl. Some prefer to serve it over mashed potatoes or even rice as we did here. Your choice.

=================================
Denise D’Anne
Ms. D'Anne was born Anthony Albanese in New York City in 1933. Originally from Brooklyn, she spent most of her childhood on the East Side of Manhattan in an Italian immigrant community of modest means.
Her mother was a chef, who instilled in Ms. D'Anne a lifelong interest in fine food.
As “Anthony”, Ms. D'Anne served in the U.S. Army in Europe, and in the early 1950s settled in Los Angeles, where she worked for a railroad company and earned a degree in political science from Los Angeles City College.
Ms. D'Anne realigned her gender identity in 1968, and was an early pioneer in the transgender movement.
She arrived in San Francisco in 1970, and became a city employee in what would become the Department of Human Services. She was a member of Service Employees International Union Local 400, where she served as shop steward, editor of the Local 400 newspaper, and a member of the executive board. She helped write new bylaws that, at her insistence, included a clause banning discrimination based on sexual orientation.
Ms. D'Anne defended union interests on local and state ballot initiatives, and took a leadership role in the fight for pay equity. In addition to speaking in various forums, she contributed op-ed pieces defending the rights of workers, especially women and minorities.
She served as Milk club co-president in 2010 with David Waggoner. He remarked: "She was a powerhouse and a trailblazer and it was an honor to serve with her as a co-president of the Milk club. She is one of the last in a long line of trans and gender-nonconforming legends of San Francisco, from Vicki Marlane to José Sarria. I am grateful to have known her and to have witnessed her unreserved passion for justice for all."
Gabriel Haaland, a trans man and a former Milk club president, said
"She was a lifelong champion for the environment, labor, the LGBT community, renters, and so many social justice causes.
"She consistently pushed us all to do the right thing, and spent her entire life in service to the community,"
In 2019, the San Francisco Living Wage Coalition honored her as Labor Woman of the Year.
As an active member of the National Organization for Women for many years, Ms. D'Anne worked to pass the city ordinance establishing the Commission on the Status of Women. She also helped establish the Women's Building and the Women's Credit Union, and was an executive board member of the Democratic Women's Forum, her obituary noted.
An early activist for environmental issues, Ms. D'Anne is a former president of San Francisco Community Recyclers. For a while she had a local radio program on environmental issues, where she was known as the "Green Lady." She helped write the Sustainable Plan for the city of San Francisco.
In 2007, San Francisco Tomorrow honored her as an Unsung Hero for her role as a pioneer in the city's recycling program.
She was a delegate to the San Francisco Labor Council. She ran unsuccessfully for the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, citywide in 1998 and in District 6 in 2002.
Denise D'Anne, past in 2020. She was 86.
A cause of death was not given by Geoffrey Scott, who was an "adopted" grandson of Ms. D'Anne's. Ms. D'Anne died at her home in the city's Mission district, he said.
"I met her in 1995 and everyone would call her 'grandma' at the recycling center," Scott told the Bay Area Reporter in a phone interview September 3. "We informally adopted each other."
Unfortunately, Ms. D'Anne left behind no living relatives. In her final years Scott and his partner, David Scott, cared for her. She was well-loved in San Francisco, not just in the LGBTQ community but also among environmental and labor activists of all persuasions.
"She was really proud of who she was," Geoffrey Scott said.
