Ingredients

  • 2 lb beef round, cut in 1-1 1/2 inch cubes
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • 3 tbsp 2 to 4 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 2 tbsp brandy
  • 15 12 to 18 small white onions, peeled
  • ½ lb medium-size mushrooms, halved
  • 1 clove garlic, crushed
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley
  • ¼ tsp leaf thyme, crumbled
  • 1 cup condensed beef broth
  • 1 cup Burgundy wine
  • 1 bay leaf

Method

  1. Shake the meat with the flour, salt and pepper in a plastic bag to coat well; reserve any remaining flour. Brown the beef, about 1/4 at a time, in hot butter in a large skillet. Transfer to a 2 1/2 or 3 quart casserole.
  2. Heat the brandy in a small saucepan; ignite and pour over the beef. Add the onions, mushrooms and reserved flour.
  3. Stir the garlic, parsley and thyme into the drippings in the skillet; cook 1 minute. Add the beef broth and wine, heat stirring until the mixture comes to a boil. Pour over the beef and vegetables.
  4. Add the bay leaf, cover and bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours or until the meat is tender. Let stand 20 minutes before serving.
