Sprinkle flour over meat. Toss to coat. Melt butter with olive oil in heavy pot. Sear meat over high heat in batches; remove to a plate when brown. Add shallots and garlic to pan (without cleaning); saute for 2 minutes over medium-low heat. Add mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in wine and consommé. Add salt and pepper to taste, and stir. Bring to a boil, then add browned meat. Reduce heat to low. Add thyme sprigs to pot. Cover and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes. After that time, mix 2 tablespoons flour with a little water and pour into the stew. Allow to cook and thicken for ten more minutes. Turn off heat and allow stew to sit for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.

Beef Stew with Mushrooms - This was ok. My husband was the only one home to eat and he said it is official, he's not a huge fan of thyme. I kind of agree. I just think it's so in your face. It's one of those herbs you either love or hate and this dish definitely showcases the thyme so you have to love it. This is meant to be served over pasta, that is why it calls for pasta in the recipe. My husband would never do that so I didn't bother making noodles. I did do one major change and that was to cook this all in the crockpot. I basically followed the directions and then poured it all in my crockpot at the point where it said to simmer it all. So, I never did thicken it up at the end but my husband prefers a thinner stew.
nice idea.. thanks for sharing.
