     Title: BEEF STEW, PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN'S FAVORITE
Categories: Meats, Beef, Stews
     Yield: 4 servings

     4 ts Oil
     2 ea Large onions, sliced
 1 1/2 ts Salt
     4 lb Lean beef stew meat
     1 c  Burgundy wine
     1 pk Frozen artichoke hearts
     2 pk (8 oz) refrigerated biscuits
     1 cl Garlic, split
   1/3 c  Flour
   1/2 ts Dill weed
     1 cn Beef consomme
     1 cn Mushrooms (drained)
          Butter
          Grated Parmesan cheese

 Heat oil.  Saute garlic and onions.  Remove. Mix flour, salt, pepper.
 Dredge
 meat and brown well. Return onion to pot. Add dill weed, wine, and
 consomme.
 Cover tightly and simmer about 2 hours or until meat is tender. Cook
 artichokes 1 minute less than package directions.  Add to meat. Add
 mushrooms.  Mix gently. Taste for seasoning. Pour into 2 1/2 quart
 casserole.
 Crown with biscuits (brush with butter and parmesan cheese). Bake 15 to 20
 minutes at 400 degrees.
 Note: I usually cook the stew in the pot, add canned artichokes (not
 marinated) with the mushrooms, simmer until the mushrooms are done, and
 serve
 with french bread. Eliminates the frozen artichodes, canned biscuits, and
 baking.
