Cut beef into 1-1/2 inch pieces. Blend together 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, pepper, and flour. Roll pieces of meat in blended mixture. Put shortening in a heavy kettle; add beef, and brown on all sides. Add water, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and Tabasco sauce. Cover; simmer for 2 to 2-1/2 hours until meat is almost tender.
