Story

This beef dish freezes well. Just cool completely, then put in good freezer containers. Will store up to 6 months. To reheat, defrost in the refrigerator and heat on low in a saucepan until heated through.
I suggest you don't skip the wine with this recipe. If you want to omit the wine, I would find another recipe. The wine makes the sauce in this case.
You might want to add sliced mushrooms if you're a fan. Just saute them along with the onions. Slice them thin enough so that they cook in the same time it takes to soften the onions. If you want larger pieces of mushrooms, saute them first, then add the onions.
