Beef Bourguignon is a classic French beef stew cooked with red wine, bacon, mushrooms, and pearl onions. It's a hearty and flavorful dish perfect for cold weather.
Ingredients: 1.5 kg beef chuck, cut into cubes. 200g bacon, diced. 200g pearl onions. 250g button mushrooms, sliced. 4 cloves garlic, minced. 2 carrots, sliced. 2 cups red wine. 2 cups beef broth. 2 tbsp tomato paste. 2 tbsp all-purpose flour. 2 tbsp olive oil. 1 bouquet garni thyme, bay leaves, parsley. Salt and pepper to taste.
Instructions: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until crisp. Remove bacon and set aside. Season beef with salt and pepper, then brown in the pot in batches. Remove and set aside. Add onions, carrots, and mushrooms to the pot. Cook until onions are translucent. Add garlic and cook for another minute. Sprinkle flour over vegetables and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in red wine and beef broth, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Stir in tomato paste and return bacon and beef to the pot. Add bouquet garni and season with salt and pepper. Cover and simmer over low heat for 2-3 hours, or until beef is tender. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
