"Cuisine is both an art and a science: it is an art when it strives to bring about the realization of the true and the beautiful, called le bon (the good) in the order of culinary ideas. As a science, it respects chemistry, physics and natural history. Its axioms are called aphorisms, its theorems recipes, and its philosophy gastronomy." |

But when the time comes that a man has had his dinner, then the true man comes to the surface. |
| Mark Twain |
Heat your broiler and season the roast with the pepper. Place the
meat on the broiler pan rack and broil about 4 inches from the heat
until brown on all sides - about 10 minutes or so. Reduce the oven
temperature to 325 degrees. Combine the onions, garlic, consomme,
wine, tomato paste, and spices in a 4-quart Dutch oven. Add the beef
and bring it to a simmer over moderate heat. Cover tightly and
transfer to the oven, and cook for an hour and a half.
Add the potatoes, carrots and celery, and continue baking for another
hour, or until the meat is tender. Slice the meat into quarter-inch
thick slices, and arrange them, overlapping slightly, on a heating
platter, or a heated serving dish. Set the potatoes and carrots
around the meat; keep warm. Puree the onions, celery and meat
juices in an electric blender or food processor. Add the butter to a
heavy 10-inch skillet and set over moderate heat for about 30
seconds. Add the mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, until
lightly browned. Stir in the pureed gravy. Keep warm over low heat
until ready to serve. Spoon the sauce over the beef and sprinkle
everything with parsley.
