A FEW THOUGHTS

I just have to add this… Remarkably tasty and so easy to make.

Ingredients for 4 persons:
700-800 g beef (1,8 pound)
2 tablespoon butter
2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
4 dl red wine (1,5-2 cups)
5 dl gravy or meat broth (2 cups)
2 bay leaf
1 teaspoon dried thyme
3 carrots
10 scallion or 3-4 onions
150 g bacon (0.3 pound)
200 g mushroom (champignon) (0,4 pound)

• Slice the beef in pieces/cubes, brown it in a pan in some butter, small portions at a time. Put over in casserole and add salt and pepper
• Pour over gravy/broth and wine, add bay leaf and thyme – warm it up to boiling and then lower the heat to simmer for 30 minutes.
• Chop scallion/onions and carrots. Put it into the casserole and let it simmer on low heat for 30 minutes.
• Chop mushroom and bacon. Brown it quick in the pan before adding to casserole 5 minutes before serving.
• Salt and Pepper after own taste.

I recommend serving it together with slices of whole-grain bread and a red wine, preferably something like a french Rhone or similar.
