Ingredients:
6 slices bacon, cut crosswise into eighths
2 to 2 1/2 pounds boneless beef chuck roast, cut into 3/4 inch cubes
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt (optional)
1/4 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 cups hot water
1/2 cup dry red wine
2 medium onions, cut into eight wedges
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
Directions:
1. In a 3-quart microwavable casserole cook bacon, covered, on high for 6 minutes.
2. Add beef cubes to casserole pan.
3. Toss with flour, soy sauce, salt, basil, and garlic powder.
4. Stir in water, wine, and onions.
5. Microwave, covered, on high for 5 minutes.
6. Reduce power to medium heat (50%).
7. Microwave, uncovoered, 30 minutes, stirring once.
8. Add mushrooms.
9. Microwave on medium (50%) for another 35 to 45 minutes or until the beef is tender, stirring once.
10. Cover and let stand 10 minutes.
