IngredientsPreparation
  • 4 pounds [1.8 kg] beef [sirloin or round] cubes
  • 1 teaspoon [5 mL] salt
  • 1 teaspoon [5 mL] crushed black pepper
  • 1/2 cup [70 g] flour
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 3 onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 [4-ounce / 114-mL each] cans sliced mushrooms, drained
  • 1 cup [250 mL] minced celery hearts with leaves
  • 1 teaspoon [5 mL] Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons [10 mL] tomato paste
  • 10 ounce [284 mL] can beef broth concentrate
  • 3 tablespoons [26.25 g] flour
  • 1/4 cup [60 mL] dry red wine
  • Warm boiled drained noodles for 8 to 10
  • Melted butter
  • Mix together sal, crushed black pepper and 1/2 cup [70 g] of flour; coat beef cubes with a mixture.
  • Arrange beef cubes on the bottom of an iron cast casserole or a slow cooking casserole.
  • Add minced garlic, onion slices, drained mushroom slices and minced celery.
  • Mix together Worcestershire sauce and tomato paste with beef broth concentrate.
  • Pour over meat and vegetables; mix well.
  • Cover casserole and cook slowly in the fireplace or the stove over low heat for 5 to 6 hours, or in a slow-cooker on low for 7 to 12 hours.
  • One hour before serving, move the casserole to a warmer spot in the fireplace, higher heat on the stove or put slow-cooker on high.
  • Mix remaining flour into red wine to get a smooth paste.
  • Stir into meat and vegetables mixture; cook until thickened.
  • If an iron cast casserole is used, pour mixture immediately into a covered soup serving bowl, as wine should not be left standing into an iron cast casserole.
  • Serve along with noodles, already coated with melted butter.
