Source of Recipe


"The Fannie Farmer Cookbook"


List of Ingredients





1 large onion
1/2 pound mushrooms
1/4 cup shortening or vegetable oil
3 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 pounds stewing beef, cut in 2-inch chunks
1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram, crumbled
1 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
1 cup Burgundy or other red wine
1 cup water or beef broth
12 small boiling onions



Recipe



Active Work Time: 20 minutes * Total Preparation Time: 21/2 hours

Cut off the stem top and the root bottom of the onion and discard. Slice the
onion in half from the stem top down. Put each half flat-side down on a
cutting board. Slice the onion in 1/4 inch vertical slices. Holding the half
together slice the half into 1/4 inch slices horizontally. Then cut across
the onion vertically, making a 1/4-inch dice. Put the onion pieces aside.

Break off the stems and slice the mushroom caps into 4 pieces. Add the
pieces with the mushroom stems and set aside.

Melt the shortening over medium heat in a heavy Dutch oven or large heavy
pot with a lid. Add the chopped onion and cook until the onion is light
golden, 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, so it doesn't get too
browned. Remove the onion and set aside.

Mix the flour, salt and pepper on a dinner plate and roll the meat in the
mixture. Brown the beef over medium-high heat, a few pieces at a time in the
Dutch oven, moving them around so all sides get brown. When all the beef
chunks are browned and in the pot, add the marjoram, thyme, wine and water
or beef broth. Return the onion to the pot, cover, and reduce the heat to
simmer. Simmer for 11/2 hours, checking to make sure there is still liquid
in the pot. Add a little more water or broth if needed. Add the boiling
onions and cook 20 minutes, then add the mushrooms and cook 10 minutes more.
Taste and add more salt and pepper if needed. When the onions are
fork-tender, the stew is done.
