Beef Burgundy

This dish orginates from Burgundy France and uses the wine produced there to flavor this much loved rich stew. My version here follows the traditional preparation to some extent, however I use homemade beef stock, in a larger amount and decrease the wine by almost half. We like the rich beef flavor to shine with the wine adding flavor. My spices are slightly spicier as well. This is a delicious hearty stew great with potatoes, pasta or rice for the amazing sauce. A crisp green salad wold balance it out for a memorable meal!

  1. 1

    Add olive oil to the pot the bacon was cooked in. Toss beef cubes with sriracha, salt and pepper.

    Add tomato paste, broth, thyme, and hot sauce to taste, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.

  8. 8

    Add the beef back, cover with a tight lid and place in the oven until meat and vegetables are very tender, 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours.

  9. 9

    Meanwhile in a skillet add 2 tablespoons of butter and sauté the mushrooms and pearl onions until tender.

  10. 10

    Add to beef when it's done.

  11. 11

    Combine remaining 2 tablespoons butter with the flour to make a paste in a small bowl.

“Fenway” passed away on 2/3/2021. For the last year she tried to teach her husband of 42 years how to cook like her. Although I will never be as good of a cook as her she did pass on her passion for cooking. Therefore, I will attempt to carry on her legacy and maintain/update her site. My wife was a Registered Nurse, a licensed deep water aerobics instructor, a mother to our 2 children and a fantastic cook. We grew up in New England but have been fortunate to live all over the US. I am now retired, missing her terribly, but thankful for all the years we had together and all her cooking lessons.
