Title: Ken's Beef Bourguignon
Categories: Beef, French, Main dishes
Yield: 8 Servings

5 lb Beef; cut into cubes
Flour for dusting meat
1/4 c Butter or margarine
1/4 c Olive oil
Cognac
1/2 lb Bacon; chopped
4 Cloves garlic; chopped
2 Carrot; chopped
2 Leeks; chopped
4 md Onion; chopped
2 tb Parsley
2 Bay leaves
1 ts Thyme
1 Bottle burgundy wine
2 lb Onions; sliced
1 lb Mushrooms; cleaned

Dust beef with flour and brown in butter and olive oil. Pour warm cognac
over it and light. (I have never used the cognac--it's too expensive--and I
never noticed a difference in the taste. But don't tell Ken).

Brown the bacon, garlic, carrots, leeks, onions and parsley. (I also never
put leeks in it) Add the vegetables to the meat in an oven proof dutch
oven.

Add bay leaves, thyme, wine. Add enough water to cover all the meat. Bake
at 350F for 1-1/2 to 2 hrs. Stir in 1 tablespoon flour mixed with 1
tablespoon butter. Bake 2-3 hrs. more.

Brown the onions and mushrooms in margarine. Sprinkle with sugar. Add to
meat before serving.
