Beef in Burgundy Sauce

Lynda brought this dish along with her great homemade bread over when my 13 year old was a newborn and we have enjoyed this recipe ever since. We serve it over rice and like it says lots of French bread.

Beef in Burgundy Sauce

3 pounds lean beef chuck, cut into 1 inch cubes
1- 101/2 ounce can condensed consomme
1 cup V8 juice
1 cup burgundy wine
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1- 101/2 ounce can condensed onion soup
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
2 bay leaves
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1/3 cup water

Combine all ingredients except cornstarch and water in a large saucepan. Cover and simmer slowly until meat is tender, about 2 hours. Stir occasionally. Remove bay leaves. Combine cornstarch and water; stir mixture into hot stew. Cook until sauce thickens. Serve with lots of French bread.
