Marsha Smith, Spanish teacher at Mansfield (IL) High School in the 1960s, gave me this recipe. She left the school after a few years, and I have lost touch with her. But I have made this recipe many, many times over the years and would like her to know that I have really appreciated her sharing it! It remains my husband's favorite entrée!

Ingredients

  • 3-4 pounds round steak/roast, cut into bite-sized pieces (fat discarded)
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1-2 cup burgundy wine (or other mixed red wine)
  • 1/2 cup tomato or v8 juice
  • 1 can campbell consommé (gelatin added)
  • 1-2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced (or 1 large can mushrooms, drained)
  • 1-2 tablespoon dried basil leaves

How To Make beef burgundy

  • Step 1
    Heat oven to 325 degrees. Mix flour, salt, and pepper in a plastic bag. Add meat pieces to coat.
  • Step 2
    Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add coated meat to the skillet and sauté until nicely browned. (If your skillet is not really large, do this in two batches.)
  • Step 3
    Add browned meat and all other ingredients except mushrooms to a Dutch oven. Braise in heated oven for 2 1/2 hours. Check liquid levels periodically. If liquid is cooking out, add more: tomato juice, consummé, or wine. Add mushrooms and braise for 30 more minutes.
  • Step 4
    Serve over rice or noodles. (I prefer to use brown Jasmine rice.) Freezes well; holds in a warm oven well.
