1/2 cup shortening
3 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1 cup beef consomme
2 to 3 cups dry red wine
1 (4 ounce) can mushrooms or 1/2 pound fresh
mushrooms, sauteed in 2 tablespoons butter
12 small white onions, parboiled

Brown meat in shortening; add flour and seasonings. Stir well. Pour into
2-quart casserole. Add broth and wine. Bake 2 hours at 300 degrees F. Add
