2 tbsp. cream sherry

Heat butter in a Dutch oven or large deep casserole. Saute onions until just golden, turning often.

Add mushrooms. Cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove onions and mushrooms; set aside.

Dredge beef cubes in flour, salt and pepper mixture. Heat oil in pan and brown cubes on all sides, a few at a time. Remove from pan as they brown. Pour off fat.

Add stock, 1/3 cup rum and sherry to pan. Stir over low heat to loosen browned bits. Add carrots; garlic, herbs, browned beef cubes. Cover and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally. Add a little more stock if necessary.

After 1 1/2 hours, uncover pan and add sauteed onions, mushrooms, remaining rum. Cover. Simmer 1/2 hour longer or until beef and onions are tender.

*Use 80 proof rum.
