- 30 ml (2 tbsp) vegetable oil
- 600 g (1 1/4 lb) diced stewing beef
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 500 ml (2 cups) large mushrooms, cut into quarters
- 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) garlic, minced
- 250 ml (1 cup) white wine

- A few sprigs of fresh thyme or 5 ml (1 tsp) dried thyme

- 125 ml (1/2 cup) 35% cooking cream
- 30 ml (2 tbsp) parsley, chopped
Preparation
- Melt half of the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.

- Sear the diced beef. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove from the heat and set aside.
- In the same pan, sauté the mushrooms. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, in an enamelled cast-iron pot, heat the rest of the butter and oil over medium-high heat.
- Sweat the onions for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Pour in the white wine and reduce to 3/4.
