List of Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 4 pounds sirloin tip roast, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 4 large sweet onions, thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 (10.5-ounce) cans beef consommé
- 1 (14-ounce) can beef broth
- 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme
- ½ cup whipping cream
- ½ (14-ounce) package French bread, cut into ¼-inch-thick slices, toasted
- 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Garnish: fresh thyme
Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat.
Sprinkle roast with salt and pepper. Brown roast, in batches, for 3 to 4 minutes per side; remove from pan and set aside.
- In the same Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently, for 15 to 20 minutes, or until onions are tender. Increase heat to medium-high, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, or until onions are caramel colored. Stir in garlic and flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Add roast, consommé, broth, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves and thyme. Simmer, stirring occasionally, uncovered, for 1 hour. Stir in cream and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Discard bay leaves.
- Preheat broiler. Lightly grease a 13- x 9-inch baking dish.
Spoon roast mixture into prepared baking dish. Place toasted French bread slices evenly over roast. Sprinkle with cheese. Broil, 5 inches from heat, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Garnish with fresh thyme, if desired. Serve immediately.
Makes 8 to 10 servings.
