1/2 c finely chopped celery
1/2 c butter
6 Tbsp flour
2 c milk
2 cubes beef bouillon
STEAK
1 1/2 lb bottom round steak (or a london broil works well too)
2 Tbsp olive oil, extra virgin

1 tsp thyme, dried
1 c red wine (i use a merlot)
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
3 tsp brown sugar
1 bay leaf
1 Tbsp fresh grated ginger
1 lb pasta, prepared al dente

Steps:

1. To prepare the "cream soup" Prepare ingredients. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add fresh minced garlic, celery, & mushrooms & saute. stirring constantly about 3-5 minutes. Add flour, making a paste. Whisk in milk and bouillon. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring constantly until it reaches desired consistency. (about 10 minutes) (Should be thick like creamy soup) When done, cover and set aside. **Photo is of my prepared cream soup just as I added red wine.
2. Cut meat in strips, then the strips in thirds. Season with thyme & fresh cracked salt and pepper.
3. In a large skillet, heat EVOO over medium high heat. Add sliced onions and prepared beef. Cook until meat is browned on all sides.
4. Pour creamed soup over beef. Add red wine, brown sugar, red pepper flakes, bay leaf, and fresh ginger. Mix, bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 1/2 hours.
5. Prepare pasta al dente, as per directions. (Also goes well with rice)
6. Serve over Pasta. We enjoy with fresh seasoned Italian garlic bread & crisp salad. *** Photo posted here is of my plate. I don't eat red meat, but I still enjoy the sauce over my pasta. This is an absolute delicious meal!
