1 1/2 lbs. beef chuck, stew meat or round steak, 2" cubes
1/2 c. burgundy or other heavy red wine
1 (10 oz.) can consomme, undiluted
3/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
1 med. onion, sliced
1/4 c. bread crumbs
1/4 c. flour

Combine meat, wine, consomme, salt, pepper and onion in casserole. Mix bread crumbs with flour and stir into casserole mixture; mix well. Cover and bake in 300 degree oven about 3 hours or until tender. Stir a couple of times during baking, but not necessary. This is an easy and delicious way to cook beef stew and I add vegetables and mushrooms sometimes. My family likes this recipe best just plain and served over noodles with a green salad and, of course, red wine.
