BOEUF AUX CAROTTES (BEEF STEWED WITH CARROTS)
A classic French peasant dish, the long slow stewing with carrots and pearl onions gives the meat an unexpected sweetness. Stew beef would be traditional and may be substituted, but the short ribs give it an additional unctuousness from their gelatin. Bone-in is preferable, but the nutrition information comes up wrong, so I listed the boneless first. (This could also be adapted for the crockpot - brown the meat, deglaze with the wine, then combine with the veg, spices and stock in the slow cooker. Cook on low 6 hours, then add carrot coins and cook another 2 hours.) Adapted from a recipe by Kerry Saretsky at Serious Eats http://bit.ly/6W1Cqn

Steps:
- In a deep wide pan, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Salt and pepper the short ribs on all sides and place in pan. Brown on all six sides, to a deep brown crust. Place meat on a plate and pour out oil, but do not wipe out pan.
- Add 1 tsp fresh oil and reduce heat to medium-low. Add the carrots which were cut in thirds, with pearl onions, garlic, chervil stems (not leaves), juniper, bay leaves and salt and pepper. (The juniper berries should be lightly crushed, just to crack them open, not crushed fine.) Saute slowly until garlic is fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Add wine and scrape bottom of pan with a flat spatula or wooden paddle. Simmer 2-3 minutes.
- Turn heat to high. Tuck meat back in amongst the vegetables and add beef stock. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer 2 1/2 hours.
- Add carrot coins and stir into broth. Re-cover and cook an additional 30 minutes.
- Make a beurre manie by creaming the flour into the butter until completely absorbed. Set aside.
- After 3 hours, remove and discard the large pieces of carrot, the chervil stems, bay leaves and juniper berries (if you can find them). Skim off and discard as much fat as you can.
- Add as much or as little of the beurre manie as needed to achieve the thickness you desire in the stew (start with about 1/3 of the total, and add more as needed, allowing it to cook 3-4 minutes after each addition to thicken before adding more if needed). Allow to bubble 5 minutes to achieve full thickness, stir in chervil leaves and serve.

Steps:
- Using your fingers and a thin knife, pull the roast apart along its natural seams. Trim off any thick layers of fat. Carve the roast into 1-1/2- to 2-inch cubes and arrange them on a paper-towel- lined tray to dry.
- Position a rack in the lower third of the oven. Heat the oven to 325ºF.
- Heat the oil and bacon together in a 7- or 8-qt. Dutch oven over medium heat, stirring occasionally, just until the bacon is browned but not crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a small plate. Season about one-third of the beef with salt and pepper, and arrange the cubes in a sparse single layer in the pot to brown. Adjust the heat so the beef sizzles and browns but does not burn. Cook until all sides are a rich brown, a total of about 10 minutes. Transfer to a large plate or tray, and season and brown the remaining beef in two more batches.
- When all the beef chunks are browned, pour off all but about 1 Tbs. of drippings, if necessary. Set the pot over medium-high heat, add the shallots, season with a large pinch of salt and several grinds of pepper, and sauté until they just begin to soften, about 1 minute. Add the brandy and let it boil away. Add the tomato paste, garlic, and herbes de Provence, stirring to incorporate, and sauté for another 1 minute. Add the wine, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to dislodge the caramelized drippings, and bring to a boil. Pour in the liquid from the tomatoes, holding the tomatoes back with your hand. Then one by one, crush the tomatoes with your hand over the pot and drop them inches Add the orange zest, and return the beef (along with accumulated juices) and bacon to the pot. Finally, add the carrots, bring to a simmer, cover, and slide into the oven.
- Cook the stew, stirring every 45 minutes, until the meat is fork-tender (taste a piece; all trace of toughness should be gone), 2 to 3 hours. Before serving, skim off any surface fat (if there is any), taste for salt and pepper, and stir in the parsley.
- Make Ahead: This dish can be made up to three days ahead. Reserve the chopped parsley and don't bother skimming the surface fat. Instead, transfer the cooled stew to a bowl or baking dish, cover tightly, and refrigerate. Before reheating, lift off the layer of solid fat that will be on the surface. Reheat gently in a 325ºF oven in a covered baking dish, stirring once, for about 30 min., or until hot. Taste for salt and pepper and add the parsley just before serving.

Steps:
- Combine the flour and pepper in a bowl, add the beef and toss to coat well. Heat 3 teaspoons of the oil in a large pot. Add the beef a few pieces at a time; do not overcrowd.

- Cover and cook, skimming broth from time to time, until the beef is tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Add the onions and carrots and simmer, covered, for 10 minutes.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef. A good stew meat should have a good amount of marbling, which will help to keep it moist and flavorful during cooking. Some good options include chuck roast, shoulder roast, or brisket.
- Brown the beef before stewing it. This will help to develop flavor and color. You can do this in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Just be sure to sear the meat in batches so that it doesn't crowd the pan and steam.
- Use a good quality red wine. The wine will add flavor and depth to the stew. Choose a red wine that you would enjoy drinking on its own.
- Add plenty of vegetables. Vegetables will help to add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the stew. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes.
- Season the stew well. Be sure to add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
- Cook the stew low and slow. This will help to tenderize the meat and allow the flavors to develop. Cook the stew for at least 2 hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender.
- Serve the stew with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
Conclusion:
Beef stew with red wine and carrots is a classic French dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. The beef is tender and flavorful, the vegetables are perfectly cooked, and the sauce is rich and delicious. This stew is sure to please everyone at your table.
