Ingredients

  • 2 pounds beef round steak, 1 inch thick
  • 2 tablespoons shortening or bacon fat
  • 3 large onions, sliced
  • 8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced (2 1/2 cups)
  • 2 tablespoons Gold Medalâ„¢ all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon snipped fresh marjoram leaves or 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon snipped fresh thyme leaves or 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup beef bouillon
  • 1 cup red Burgundy or other dry red wine or tomato juice

Steps

  • 1
    Cut beef into 1-inch cubes. Melt shortening in Dutch oven.
  • 2
    Cook beef in shortening over medium heat until brown; remove. Cook onions and mushrooms in Dutch oven, stirring occasionally, until onions are tender, adding shortening if neccessary. Remove mushrooms and onions; cover and refrigerate.
  • 3
    Return beef to Dutch oven; sprinkle with flour, salt, marjoram, thyme and pepper. Stir in bouillon and Burgundy.
  • 4
    Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer about 1 1/4 hours or until beef is tender. (Liquid should just cover beef.) If necessary, stir in additional bouillon and Burgundy (1 part bouillon to 2 parts Burgundy).
  • 5
    Add mushrooms and onions; heat through, stirring occasionally.

  • If both wine and tomato juice are not for you, use apple juice instead.
  • Ready to cry at the thought of slicing 3 large onions? Frequently rinse onion pieces under cold water between chopping to hold back the tears.
