Beef Bourguignon is a classic French dish made with tender beef, bacon, vegetables, and a rich red wine sauce. Slow-cooked to perfection, it’s the ultimate comfort food, perfect for special occasions or a cozy dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs beef chuck, cut into 2-inch cubes
- 4 slices bacon, chopped
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
- 12 pieces pearl onions, peeled
- 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups red wine (Burgundy or Pinot Noir)
- 1 cup beef stock
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 leaf bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped for garnish
- to taste salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a Dutch oven, cook the chopped bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove and set aside.
- Add olive oil to the same pot. Pat the beef cubes dry with paper towels, season with salt and pepper, and sear in batches until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, add carrots, onions, and garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes until slightly softened.
- Stir in tomato paste and flour, cooking for 1-2 minutes. Pour in the red wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add beef stock, bay leaf, and thyme, then bring to a simmer.
- Return the beef and bacon to the pot. Cover and transfer to the preheated oven. Cook for 2.5 to 3 hours until the beef is fork-tender.
- In the last 30 minutes, sauté the mushrooms in a separate pan until golden, then add them to the pot. Stir well and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Remove the bay leaf and thyme sprigs. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
