SPICED BEEF IN RED WINE
There is nothing to stop you from serving spiced beef in red wine at a dinner party, but proper cooking should not be undertaken only for company. I make a batch of the beef and, when it is cool, bag it up in single portions and put it in the freezer. It makes a great warming supper for nights when you are lazing on a sofa watching television. Just because it's Wednesday, you need not have to resort to a bagel or grilled cheese for dinner.

Steps:
- Working in batches in a food processor, process bacon, onions, leeks, carrots and parsley until finely chopped. Transfer mixture to a large bowl, and set aside. Place flour in a freezer bag or other plastic bag. Season with salt and pepper. Add steak cubes, seal bag, and shake until cubes are well coated.
- Place a flameproof casserole dish over medium heat, and add 2 tablespoons oil. When hot, add beef in batches, turning until well seared on all sides. As beef is browned, transfer to a plate, and set aside.
- If casserole dish is dry, add 1 tablespoon oil. Place over medium heat, and add bacon and vegetable mixture and ground cloves. Sauté until softened, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, combine wine, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, star anise and brown sugar. Place over medium-high heat, and bring to a boil. When vegetables have softened, pour liquid over vegetables.
- Return beef to pan, and stir well. Bring to a boil, partly cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer gently until beef is tender, about 2 hours. Serve hot. If desired, stew may be cooked and then covered and refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for a month.

SPICY HAMBURGER WITH RED-WINE SAUCE
Mr. Franey gives this American classic a Gallic twist. The recipe here can be prepared on a barbecue grill, in an oven broiler or even in a skillet. Whether you barbecue or broil, cook the patties about six inches from the heat source for about three minutes on each side, or until done as desired. If you are cooking on the stove top, use a heavy-gauge cast iron skillet. Cast iron sears extremely well when hot, but it has to be smoking hot before the meat is put in. Be sure the ventilation fan is on.

Steps:
- Put the meat in a mixing bowl and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a small skillet and add the onions. Cook, stirring, until wilted. Add the garlic and cook briefly, stirring. Remove from the heat and let cool.
- Combine the meat lightly with the onion mixture, chili con carne seasoning, ground pepper, pepper flakes and salt. Divide the mixture into 4 patties of equal size.
- Heat a heavy iron skillet large enough to hold all the patties in one layer and do not add fat of any kind.
- When the skillet is quite hot, add the patties. Cook until well browned on one side, about 3 minutes. Turn and cook 3 minutes on the second side.
- Transfer to a warm platter.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a small skillet. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the wine and broth. Let cook until reduced to about 1/4 cup. Swirl in the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Pour over the patties and serve the dish immediately.
