Get Beefy

Good Morning Gentle Readers

Well last night I went a little crazy and went to a classic meal for me and Cindy Lou. We had spent the day running around and doing this and that, which reminds me, thanks to the folks at K/W Surplus for the great computer speakers, they are just perfect and you can’t beat the price. Anyway last night I made Beef Bourguignon Good Enough Style.

Now don’t get me wrong Julia Child's recipe is far and away the best way to make this one but sometimes you just don't have the time or the energy to put that one together so a Good Enough substitute sometimes has to do....

Here is what you need.....

5 or 6 Big potatoes.

1 Bag of Baby Carrots

2 Onions, Spanish are the best for this but sometimes an onion is an onion

Rosemary

Garlic

Ground Pepper

Basil

As far as spices those are the minimums

A Bottle of Red Wine or a nice dry Merlot

( You don’t use to much of this so I just give the rest to Cindy Lou )

Beef, a good bit cubed, stewing beef will do in a pinch

Plain Bread crumbs

Three eggs

2 Bags of McCormick s Green pepper beef gravy

Take the potatoes and cut them into quarters and toss them in a pot of boiling water, add the baby carrots and let them cook for a while, not long enough to be done but mostly done. Drain them and put them aside.

Get your bread crumbs and toss them in a metal mixing bowl, add spices to taste, make sure you add a little extra garlic, it’s a nice touch

Take a tupper ware container and break the eggs into it, add a generous amount of pepper to taste and then dip your beef cubes in it, then roll them in the bread crumbs.

Fast fry the beef being careful to just let the outside cook, not much more than that.

In a casserole dish pour a cup and a half of the red wine, add the beef to it in a layer.

Add the potatoes and the carrots then chop your onions into large pieces and toss them on top.

Make the gravy and pour that over the top

Cover with some tinfoil and bake in a hot oven until everything is just done nicely

Serve with a butter drenched toasted baguette

I can tell you this is super tasty and it looks like you did a lot more work than you actually had to to to make it.....

Take Care and God Bless
