Beef Bourguignon - The Most Comforting Classic French Stew

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 pound bacon
  • 3-pound chuck roast
  • 1.5 to 2 cups white onion (diced)
  • 2 large carrots (or 3 medium)
  • 6 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 14 sprigs of fresh thyme
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 3 cups Pinot Noir (or Burgundy wine)
  • 3 cups beef stock
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Flour for dredging
  • Butter for browning
  • Pearl onions
  • Mushrooms

Steps:

1
Cut 1/2 pound of bacon into 1-inch thick pieces.
2
Cut a 3-pound chuck roast into large cubes, trimming excess fat.
3
Prepare your vegetables: Dice enough white onion for about 1.5 to 2 cups. Cut two large carrots (or three medium) into equal-size pieces, about 1.5 to 2 inches in length.
4
Mince six cloves of garlic (or adjust to taste).
5
Measure a quarter cup of tomato paste. Prepare about 14 sprigs of fresh thyme and two bay leaves for flavor.
6
For the liquids, measure three cups of Pinot Noir (or Burgundy wine) and three cups of beef stock.
7
Season beef cubes with salt and pepper, dredge them in flour, shaking off the excess.
8
Preheat your Dutch oven on medium heat and preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
9
Cook bacon in the Dutch oven until browned, then remove and set aside. Use the bacon fat to sear the prepared beef cubes in batches until all sides are browned. Set aside the browned beef.
10
Brown the carrot pieces in the remaining fat, remove and set aside, then cook the onions until soft.
11
Add the garlic, tomato paste, thyme, and bay leaves to the onions. Cook, stirring to avoid burning.
12
Mix the remaining flour into the vegetable mixture, then pour in the wine and beef stock. Bring to a simmer, add the browned beef and its juices back into the pot along with the cooked bacon.
13
Cover the Dutch oven and place into the preheated oven. Cook for approximately 2.5 to 3.5 hours or until the beef is tender but not mushy.
14
While the beef is cooking, brown pearl onions and mushrooms in butter and season with thyme.
15
Once the beef Bourguignon is cooked, check for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper if needed. Serve with the browned pearl onions and mushrooms on top.
