BEEF BAKED IN RED WINE 
2 lb. slice of round steak
Salt & pepper
1/2 tsp. thyme
2 tbsp. bacon fat
1 sm. bay leaf
12 sm. white onions
1 tsp. capers
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
3/4 c. dry red wine
2 tbsp. minced parsley

The wine here both tenderizes and flavors the beef. Sprinkle meat with salt, pepper and thyme; cut in 6 pieces and pound each piece well until it is no more than 1/2 inch thick. Or have your butcher flatten it with his heavy cleaver. Brown quickly in a heavy earthenware casserole in which fat has been heated.

Add bay leaf, onions, capers, Worcestershire sauce and red wine. Cover and bake in 350 degree oven for about an hour or until meat is very tender. Sprinkle with parsley before serving. Serves 6. Serve with fluffy mashed potatoes and buttered green peas.
