2 lbs. beef boneless chuck eye or rolled rump roast, cut into 1 inch cubes
1/4 c. all-purpose flour
2 tbsp. olive or vegetable oil
1 clove garlic
1 1/4 c. red Burgundy or other dry red wine
2 tsp. instant beef bouillon
1/2 sm. bay leaf
3 slices bacon, diced
18 sm. white onions
3 tbsp. tomato paste
1/2 tsp. dried thyme leaves
1/2 to 1/4 tsp. ground pepper
2 c. Bisquick baking mix
2/3 c. milk
Paprika

Heat oven to 325 degrees. Coat beef with flour. Heat oil in Dutch oven. Cook beef until brown. Add garlic; cook 1 minute. Remove garlic and fat. Add wine and enough water to cover beef. Stir in bouillon and bay leaf. Cover and bake 2 hours.

Fry bacon until limp. Add onions; cook until light brown. Stir bacon and onions into beef. Cover and bake until beef is tender, about 40 minutes. (Add wine or water during baking if necessary.) Stir in tomato paste, thyme and pepper.

Mix baking mix and milk until dough forms; beat vigorously until stiff (30 seconds). Drop by spoonfuls onto beef mixture; sprinkle with paprika. Bake until biscuits are golden brown, about 15 minutes. Makes 4 to 5 servings.
