| 4 lbs beef
round steak, 1 inch thick 1/4 cup shortening or bacon fat 5 large onions, sliced 1 lb mushrooms, sliced 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour 2 tsp salt |
1 tsp snipped
fresh or 1/4 tsp dried thyme 1 tsp snipped fresh or 1/4 tsp dried marjoram 1/4 tsp pepper 1 cup beef broth 2 cups red burgundy or other dry red wine |
| Cut beef steak into 1 inch
cubes. Heat shortening in dutch oven until melted. Cook beef in shortening
over medium heat until brown and liquid has evaporated; remove. Cook and stir onions
and mushrooms in dutch oven until onions are tender, adding shortening if necessary.
Remove mushrooms and onions; cover and refrigerate. Return beef to dutch oven; sprinkle with flour, salt, marjoram, thyme, and pepper. Stir in broth and burgundy. 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 broth and burgundy (1 part broth to 2 parts burgundy). Add mushrooms and onions; heat through, stirring occasionally. Serve over noodles if desired.
