BEEF AND ONION STEW
Few things can soften winter's bite better than a hearty stew, and this one is guaranteed to tame even the coldest winter day! The recipe has its origins in Germany and is familiar throughout central Missouri - home to many German families. It's great for what I call a "one-pot" meal.

Steps:
- Toss the beef tips with the flour, salt and pepper in a large Ziploc bag to coat well. Heat the olive oil in a large pot. Brown the beef in the pan. Once browned, reserve beef on a plate and cook the onions until soft. Return the beef to the pan, add the broth, white wine and basil to the pot. Turn down to a simmer, cover, and let cook for 2 hours (can cook for longer if necessary, just keep on low heat). Toward end of cooking time preheat oven to 350 degrees. Stir the lima beans into the stew. In a measuring cup mix the half-and-half with the cornstarch until the cornstarch is dissolved. Stir it into the stew. Turn heat up to medium-high and heat to almost boiling stirring regularly. Transfer stew to large 9 by 13 glass pan (I actually use a little larger corning ware pan) Open biscuits can and place individual biscuits on top of the stew. Cook in 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes until biscuits are golden brown.

CARBONNADE A LA FLAMANDE (BELGIAN BEEF, BEER, AND ONION STEW)
Steps:
- 1. Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position; heat oven to 300 degrees. 2. Dry beef thoroughly with paper towels, then season generously with kosher salt and pepper. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in large heavy-bottomed Dutch oven over medium-high heat; add beef and brown well. (May need to do this in 2 batches so beef can be browned in single layer.) Transfer browned beef to medium bowl. 3. Add 1 T butter to pan and saute mushrooms until browned and tender. Remove and set aside with the beef. 4. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to Dutch oven; reduce heat to medium-low. Add onions, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and tomato paste; cook, scraping bottom of pot with wooden spoon to loosen browned bits, until onions are lightly browned. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add flour and stir until onions are evenly coated and flour is lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Stir in broths, scraping pan bottom to loosen browned bits; stir in beer, thyme, bay leaves, vinegar, browned beef with any accumulated juices, mushrooms and salt and pepper to taste. (Carrots, too.) Increase heat to medium-high and bring to full boil, stirring occasionally; cover partially, then place pot in oven. Cook until fork inserted into beef meets little resistance, about 2 to 2- 1/2 hours. (I think I cooked my stew closer to 3 hours, until meat was super tender and the sauce was well-thickened ..I also stirred it occasionally while it was in the oven). 5. Discard bay leaves. Adjust seasonings with salt and pepper to taste and serve. I served the stew over mashed potatoes. Creamy, dreamy, marvelous mashed potatoes Good grief. I dare you not to lick your plate. Serve with salad.

Tips:
- Choose the right onions: Yellow or white onions are best for stewing, as they hold their shape well and have a mild flavor. Red onions can also be used, but they will add a slightly sweeter flavor to the stew.
- Slice the onions thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven: This will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the onions from burning.
- Cook the onions slowly: This will allow them to caramelize and develop a rich, flavorful taste.
- Add liquid to the pot: This will help prevent the onions from drying out and burning. Water, broth, or wine can all be used.
- Season the onions: Salt, pepper, and garlic are all classic seasonings for onion stew. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste, such as thyme, rosemary, or sage.
- Add other vegetables: Once the onions are cooked, you can add other vegetables to the stew, such as potatoes, carrots, celery, or mushrooms.
- Simmer the stew until the vegetables are tender: This will usually take about 30 minutes.
