Kiddie Pool Update:
The Kiddie pool has been resurfaced! However, it is not ready for use and will need to remain closed to allow the material to cure. At this time, we expect to keep the pool closed for approximately 2 weeks.
The new surface of the pool needs to have time to cure so we don't have any problems in the future. Please keep in mind that if the Kiddie Pool surface is damaged due to unauthorized usage, it will delay the pool's reopening and could incur resurfacing costs.
The Association will be sending an official re-opening announcement as soon as the Kiddie Pool is safe and ready for use. Please get in touch with the Association Office at 210-740-4976 should you have any questions or concerns. Thank you.

Best Beef Stew
YIELDS:
Prep: 10 min
Cook: 2 hours 30 min
Total: 2 hours 40 min
Yield: 6 Servings
INGREDIENTS
- 3 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tbsp. butter
- 2 lb. stew meat
- 1 whole medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (12 oz. size) beer
- 4 c. beef stock (or 4 cups water + 4 beef bouillon cubes)
- 2 c. water (additional, if needed)
- 1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp. tomato paste
- 1/2 tsp. paprika
- 1/2 tsp. Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 tsp. sugar
- 4 whole carrots, washed, unpeeled, and roughly sliced
- 4 whole new potatoes, quartered
- Minced parsley (optional)
DIRECTIONS
- Heat oil and butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Brown meat in two batches, setting aside on a plate when brown. Cut pieces in half. Set aside.
- Add diced onions to the pot. Stir and cook for two or three minutes until softened, then add garlic for another minute. Pour in beer and beef stock, then add Worcestershire, tomato paste, paprika, salt, pepper, and sugar. Add beef back into the pot. Stir to combine. Cover and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- The liquid should cook down to a thicker state. If it gets too thick/reduces too much, add additional water as needed.
- Add carrots and potatoes, then cover and cook for an additional 30 minutes. (If stew gets dry, just add a cup of hot water at a time to replenish the liquid.) Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
