- #20112
ingredients
1/2 cup margarine
4 cups thinly sliced Vidalia or white onions
1 pound beef tenderloin, or sirloin, sliced into 1/2 inch cubes
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
4 cups beef broth
2 cups cooked fettuccine
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
directions
In a large heavy-bottomed pan, over medium heat, melt margarine. Add the onions and saute stirring often, until caramelized but not burned, 15-20 minutes.
With a slotted spoon, remove the onions to a medium bowl. Add the beef to the pan and brown well on all sides. Return the onions and any juices to the pan.
In a small bowl, mix the flour, sugar, cumin, salt, and pepper. Add to the pan and stir 1 minute until bubbly. Gradually add the broth, stirring to scrape any brown bits from the pan, and simmer 10 minutes.
Heat the broiler. Place 1/2 cup fettuccine in 16-ounce size ovenproof bowls. Divide the beef mixture over the pasta.
In a medium bowl, stir the cheeses together and sprinkle evenly over the beef. Broil until the cheese is melted and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from the broiler and serve.

Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Recipe was very good. Sauce was just a little thin. Put the dishes in the oven to bake, not broil...broiler burns the cheese.
