DIJON AND COGNAC BEEF STEW



Dijon and Cognac Beef Stew image

This rich, comforting stew was brought to The Times by Regina Schrambling in 2001, in the dark days immediately following the attacks on the World Trade Center. The accompanying article was an ode to the therapeutic benefits of cooking and baking: "Whoever said cooking should be entered into with abandon or not at all had it wrong. Going into it when you have no hope is sometimes just what you need to get to a better place. Long before there were antidepressants, there was stew." This one, while complex in flavor, is not difficult to prepare, but it cannot be rushed. Make it when you have the time to indulge in the meditative qualities of chopping, sautéing, reducing, braising, waiting and tasting. You will be rewarded with an exceptionally flavorful dish that is just as satisfying to eat as it was to cook.

Time 3h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 pound salt pork, diced
1 large onion, finely diced
3 shallots, chopped
2 to 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 pounds beef chuck, in 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 cup Cognac
2 cups beef stock
1/2 cup Dijon mustard
4 tablespoons Pommery mustard or other whole-grain Dijon mustard
4 large carrots, peeled and cut into half-moon slices
1/2 pound mushrooms, stemmed, cleaned and quartered
1/4 cup red wine

Steps:

  • Place salt pork in a Dutch oven over low heat, and cook until fat is rendered. Remove solid pieces with a slotted spoon, and discard. Raise heat, and add onion and shallots. Cook until softened but not browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a large bowl.
  • If necessary, add 2 tablespoons butter to the pot to augment fat. Dust beef cubes with flour, and season with salt and pepper. Shake off excess flour, and place half the cubes in the pot. Cook over medium-high heat until well browned, almost crusty, on all sides, then transfer to a bowl with onions. Repeat with remaining beef.
  • Add Cognac to the empty pot, and cook, stirring, until the bottom is deglazed and the crust comes loose. Add stock, Dijon mustard and 1 tablespoon Pommery mustard. Whisk to blend, then return meat and onion mixture to pot. Lower heat, partly cover, and simmer gently until meat is very tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Add carrots, and continue simmering for 30 minutes, or until slices are tender. As they cook, heat 2 tablespoons butter in a medium skillet over medium-high, and sauté mushrooms until browned.
  • Stir mushrooms into stew along with remaining mustard and red wine. Simmer 5 minutes, then taste, and adjust seasoning. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose the right carrots: For the best flavor and texture, select young, tender carrots with smooth, brightly colored skin.
  • Peeling vs. scraping: Peeling the carrots is optional, but scraping them with a vegetable peeler will remove the outer layer of skin and leave the carrots with a more delicate flavor.
  • Cut carrots evenly: To ensure even cooking, cut the carrots into uniform pieces. This will help them cook at the same rate.
  • Use good quality cognac: The cognac you use will have a significant impact on the flavor of the dish. Choose a cognac that is smooth and flavorful, with a good balance of sweetness and acidity.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing the carrots, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
  • Add the cognac at the right time: To prevent the alcohol from burning off, add the cognac towards the end of the cooking process. This will allow the flavors to meld together without overpowering the dish.
  • Season to taste: Once the carrots are cooked, season them to taste with salt, pepper, and any other desired herbs or spices.

Conclusion:

Carrots with cognac is a simple yet elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet carrots, rich cognac, and aromatic herbs creates a flavorful and memorable side dish that is sure to impress your guests. Whether you serve it as a side dish to a roasted chicken or fish, or as a vegetarian main course, this dish is sure to be a hit.
