Recipe Introduction


This is out-of-this-world-delicious and authentic.


List of Ingredients




1/4 C flour
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 # beef rump steak, cut into 1-inch   ubes
4 oz salt pork or bacon, cut into thin strips
1 shallot, chopped
2 onions, sliced
1/4 C Cognac (optional)
2 C Burgundy or other red wine
1 C beef stock
1 bay (laurel) leaf
1 sprig fresh thyme
1 clove garlic, crushed
12 small onions, whole
2 T butter



Recipe



Season the flour with salt and pepper and toss the beef cubes in the mixture to coat evenly. Shake off the excess flour. Fry the salt pork in a large heavy pot over moderate heat until lightly browned. Add the beef cubes, shallot, and onions and cook until the beef is lightly browned on all sides. Add the optional Cognac and cook for 2 minutes. Add the wine, beef stock, bay leaf, thyme, and garlic.
Reduce the heat and simmer covered for 2 to 3 hours. In a separate pot, saute the onions in the butter until lightly browned and add them to the pot 20 minutes before serving. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Serves 4 to 6.
