A classic French dish, beef bourguignon is a hearty and flavorful stew made with tender beef, bacon, vegetables, and a rich red wine sauce. Perfect for a cozy dinner at eight, this dish is sure to impress your guests with its depth of flavor and comforting aroma.
Ingredients: 2 lbs beef chuck, cubed. 4 slices bacon, chopped. 1 onion, chopped. 2 carrots, sliced. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1 cup red wine. 2 cups beef broth. 1/4 cup tomato paste. 1 tbsp olive oil. 2 tbsp all-purpose flour. 1 bay leaf. Salt and pepper to taste. Fresh parsley for garnish.
Instructions: Warm the oven up to 325F 160C. Over medium heat, cook the bacon in a Dutch oven until it's crispy. Take it out and set it aside. Use flour, salt, and pepper to season beef cubes. Brown the beef in olive oil in the same pot in small amounts. Put away. Go ahead and put garlic, onions, and carrots in the pot. Cook until it gets soft. Use red wine to clean out the pot and get rid of any browned bits. Add the beef broth and tomato paste and mix well. Put the bacon and beef back in the pot after adding the bay leaf. Place the dish in the oven and cover it. Let it cook for about two hours, or until the beef is soft. When it's done, take out the bay leaf and, if needed, change the seasoning. Serve hot with fresh parsley on top. Serve with mashed potatoes or your favorite crusty bread.
