Burgundy Beef
Main Dish
Ingredients
2 tablespoons shortening
5 medium onions, sliced
1/2 pound mushrooms, trimmed and sliced
2 pounds top round steak, cut into 1 inch cubes
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon marjoram leaves
1/4 teaspoon thyme leaves
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 tablespoons flour
3/4 cup beef broth
1 1/2 cups red Burgundy
Instructions
Melt shortening in large skillet. Cook and stir onions and mushrooms until onions are tender; remove vegetables. In same skillet, brown meat; add shortening if necessary. Sprinkle seasonings and herbs over meat. Mix flour and broth; stir into skillet. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute. Stir in wine. Cover and simmer 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until meat is tender. (Liquid should always just cover meat. If necessary, add more broth and wine - 1 part broth to 2 parts wine.) Gently stir in onions and mushrooms; cook 15 minutes or until heated through.
Notes
Beef broth can be made by dissolving 1 beef bouillon cube or 1 teaspoon instant beef bouillon in 3/4 cup of boiling water - or use canned beef broth.
