The ingredients for beef bourjon are:

1 medium roast -cut in 2 inch cubes
( it doesn't have to be a specific roast. base it on your family size. this is a double batch that way we can have left overs for lunch or another dinner).

olive oil or any cooking oil just enough to coat the skillet
8 stalks of celery (chopped small)
8 medium carrots (sliced thin)
2 (pkg sliced mushrooms)
1 medium green pepper (chopped in about nickel size pieces)
salt and pepper to taste
2 cloves garlic crushed
1 small red sweet pepper

please note this is a double batch of the beef
it leaves enough for 2 dinners and 2 lunches for a family of 5

1/2 cup sweet sherry or sweet vermouth or dry sherry depending on which you prefer
1/4 cup of ketchup any brand is fine
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
you can add more of the spices or wine to your preference
add 2 to 3 cups of water.

2 1lb bags of egg noodles.
this makes enough for a family of 5 to have 2 big meals.

I like to serve this with a big salad.

it is hard to judge exactly how many people this will feed. this recipe gives my family dinner for 2 days and 2 days of lunches as well.

if your just cooking for a family of 4 then you can cut the recipe in half. or freeze half the beef for another night.
I cook just enough egg noodles for the night I am serving this. if for a party I cook 2 to 3 bags of noodles to go with this. if just for my family I cook one. and freeze half the beef for another night.

Here is how you make beef bourjon:

first chop roast into 2 to 3 inch cubesin a deep skillet add 1 tbsp or 2 of oil depending on how big of a roast you purchased. sear the beef. ( stir til brown on all sides). set aside beef. I then wipe out any remaining oil from the skillet. then add the beef back. add carrots 2 cups or about 8 sticks of carrots sliced thinadd celery 2 cups or about 8 stalks cleaned and sliced thinadd 2 pkg mushrooms sliced thin1/2 cup sherry or sweet vermouth which ever you choose1 onion chopped medium 1 cleaned and chopped green pepper1 cleaned and chopped sweet red pepper2 cloves of garlic crushedsalt about 1/4 of a teaspoon pepper just a little to add flavor about 1/4 of a teaspoon3 to 4 cups of water depending on how many noodles you choose to serve1/4 cup ketchup1/2 cup Worcestershire sauceif the sauce smells to much like wine for your familys taste add a little more ketchup and Worcestershire. cover and simmer 2 hours no stirring or checking required about 30 minutes before time is up cook the egg noodles.pour the beef and sauce over the egg noodles and serve my family likes the sauce tossed threw the egg noodles to coat them for flavor. you can add more vegetables if you choose. also I cut onion and peppers large enough that my son can pick them out if he choosesyou can add more wine or spices or more vegetables to your preference also it doesn't' matter which beef you buy because simmering even makes the cheapest cuts of beef fall off the fork tender.Number of Servings: 20Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user MERRYF.
