List of Ingredients




1/2 pound lean bacon, cut into 1 1/2 by 1/8-inch strips
2 medium onions, coarsely chopped
3 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 Tbsp. dried Thyme, or to taste
1 1/2 pounds round steak, trimmed of fat and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
4 1/2 cups beef stock or broth
1 Bay Leaf
3 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
3/4 pound mushrooms, quartered
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup milk



Recipe



In a large (4 1/2 to 5 qt.) Dutch oven or deep oven proof skillet, cook bacon over moderate heat until golden and crisp. Drain on paper towels and set aside. Reserve 1/4 cup fat in pan. Add onions to pan and sauté over moderate heat until softened and translucent, about 10 minutes. Remove the onions from the pan and set aside. Meanwhile, in a large bowl or in a paper bag combine 1/2 cup of the flour, salt, pepper and thyme. Add the round steak and toss until thoroughly coated. Add one third of the meat to the pan and cook over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until meat is golden brown. Remove and set aside. Brown the rest of the meat in the same manner, doing it in two more batches. Return all of the meat to the pan along with the onions and add the stock and bay leaf. Cover and simmer over low heat for 1 1/2 hours, or until meat is tender. Add bacon, vinegar and mushrooms and cook 10 more minutes. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, combine the remaining 3 cups of flour with the baking powder. Cut in the butter until the mixture is the consistency of oatmeal. Add the milk all at once and mix until blended. Drop the mixture by tablespoonfuls over the meat and broth, until the surface is covered with the batter. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the biscuit topping is golden brown. Serve hot, right from the pot. Makes 6-8 servings.

This meat becomes really tender when done in a pressure cooker. After browning the meat and sautéing the onions, which can be done in the uncovered pressure cooker pan, simply add the broth to the meat and onions, cover the pressure cooker and bring up to the lowest pressure on your cooker. Pressure cook for 1 hour. Reduce the pressure by letting the cooker cool. Remove the lid. Bring the liquid to a boil and add the vinegar, mushrooms, and bacon to the pot and reduce to a simmer. Simmer for about 10 minutes. Transfer to a baking dish. ( I use a 10 inch x 14inch baking dish.) Mix the topping as directed and spoon onto meat mixture and bake as directed.
