beouf a la bourguignonne

Recipe by
Donna Hekler

this recipe is from Bon Appetite. I have been making it since the early 70s and love it now as much as ever. I no longer use the meat paste extract, reduce the amount of butter, use more bay leaves and omit the pepper. I also use the sauce with chicken.
