I finally tried making beef bourguignon, and what a great surprise it was!
On advice, I prepared it the day before and let it simmer for a looooong time!

I don’t know about you, but slow-cooked dishes are my favorites.
They’re comforting, hearty, and always so flavorful. 🤤

P.S.: If you know about wine, I’d love your tips for this recipe. I chose a Bordeaux, but is that the best choice?

Steps

1

Peel the vegetables. Mince the garlic and onions, then slice the carrots into rounds. Cut the beef into cubes (I used pre-cut stew beef).
2

In a Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the beef cubes and sear without stirring for a few minutes. Turn the meat and sear the other side. Add the garlic, onions, and carrots. Stir everything together, then cover and cook for 5 minutes.
3

Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir to coat. Pour in the red wine and add enough water to cover the meat. Add the bouquet garni. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for about 3 hours, stirring occasionally.
4

Meanwhile, in a skillet, brown the bacon or pancetta over medium heat (no added fat needed). Add the mushrooms, peeled and quartered. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring, then add to the Dutch oven.
5

Clean the baby potatoes and add them to the Dutch oven at least 3 hours before serving. If you’re making the dish a day ahead, add the potatoes the next afternoon. If you’re making it for the evening, add them before the bacon and mushrooms.
It’s ready!
