Beef in Red Wine & Brandy

Excellent recipe! Found it years ago browsing through recipe books at the local library. You know it's good when guests ask for the recipe. Mushrooms were my own addition. You could probably add carrots, potatos, or whatever else you want. Make it into a stew? It's a keeper
