5 Tablespoons flour
 60 g butter
 1 onion cut in strips
 1 liter beef stock
 100 g grated cheese (such as Gruyere)
 Cook flour in dry, hot skillet until light brown.  (this can be
 done in advance, or in large amounts and used later)  Add butter
 to flour and mix.  Add onions and cook until softened.  Add stock,
 bring to boil, and simmer 20 minutes.  Serve with grated cheese.
 Add a dash of red wine if desired.
 Serves 4
 This is _best_ with homemade stock, although canned will do in a
 pinch.
