Time 4h15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 slices bacon (1/4 pound), cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces
3 1/2 pounds boneless beef chuck roast, large pieces of fat trimmed, cut into 2-inch chunks, patted dry
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 large onion, chopped
3 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
6 medium carrots, cut diagonally into 3/4-inch slices
1 bottle dry red wine (3 cups)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Roasted Mushrooms and Pearl Onions

Steps:

  • In a 6-to-8-quart saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, cook bacon uncovered over medium-low heat until browned, 10 to 15 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate; set aside. Reserve bacon fat.
  • Season beef generously with salt and pepper. In a large bowl, dredge beef in flour, shaking off excess. Raise heat to medium. Working in two batches, brown beef in bacon fat on all sides, without crowding, about 10 minutes per batch. Transfer each batch to a bowl.
  • Pour 1/2 cup water into pan; bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, to loosen browned bits, until liquid has reduced to a few tablespoons, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring, until slightly softened, 3 minutes. Add tomato paste; cook 1 minute.
  • Add carrots, meat (with juices), wine, thyme, and reserved bacon. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer over low, stirring occasionally, until meat is tender, but not falling apart, 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
  • Skim fat off surface of stew; discard. Stir Roasted Mushrooms and Pearl Onions into beef; season with salt and pepper. Serve, or refrigerate, covered, up to overnight.

BOEUF EN DAUBE - CLASSIC FRENCH BEEF BURGUNDY STEW (BOURGUIGNON)



Boeuf En Daube - Classic French Beef Burgundy Stew (Bourguignon) image

Rich, savory stew of prime beef in red wine and cognac with traditional French herbs, pearl onions, garlic, mushrooms, bacon and dried orange: a French classic! A rustic country bread for mopping the juices, a tossed green salad, a platter of cheeses, and a nice bottle of red wine are all you need to round out this fabulous meal in true French style. Bon appetit! Adapted from Williams-Sonoma. Notes: Can be made in the crock-pot. I like to make this in advance, as it tastes better the second day. Occasionally I've reduced the marinade time to just an hour or two, and it still turns out fine. Freezes and reheats beautifully, and leftovers make a lovely shepherd's pie see my recipe #355446 #355446.

Time P1DT1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 23

3 1/2 lbs boneless prime lean stewing beef, trimmed and cubed in 2-inch pieces
4 tablespoons cognac
2 whole cloves
4 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
12 ounces white pearl onions, peeled
2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
2 stalks celery, sliced
1 large bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon crushed dried sage
1 teaspoon crushed dried thyme
3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried orange peel, finely chopped
1 (750 ml) bottle Burgundy wine
12 ounces fresh baby bella mushrooms, halved (can use button mushrooms or 2 oz. dried porcini cepes)
3 ounces cured unsmoked bacon such as pancetta, diced (regular bacon or lardons is fine)
kosher salt
fresh ground pepper
2 cups beef stock or 2 cups beef consomme
1 pinch sugar
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup diced tomato (optional)
10 whole pimiento-stuffed green olives (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large non-reactive bowl, combine beef, Cognac, cloves, garlic, onions, carrots, celery, bay leaf, sage, thyme, parsley, 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper, orange peel, wine, and mushrooms. Cover and refrigerate overnight or for up to 2 days, stirring from time to time.
  • Bring the meat and vegetables to room temperature. Drain, reserving the marinade.
  • Blot the beef and veggies dry with paper towels.
  • Preheat oven to 325F/175°C.
  • In a large heavy oven proof dish (such as a cast iron dutch oven or Le Creuset), fry the bacon over medium heat until it renders its fat, about 3-5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the bacon to paper towels and reserve.
  • Working in batches so as not to overcrowd the pan, add the meat and vegetables to the fat in the pan, and brown them on all sides over medium heat, seasoning with salt and pepper as they brown, about 7 minutes per batch.
  • Transfer to a platter. Add the marinade to the pot, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to medium heat and simmer until the liquid is reduced by one-third, about 8 minutes. Skim off the foam from the surface. Add the stock or consomme, and simmer another 8 minutes, until reduced again by one-third. Stir in the pinch of sugar and the tomato paste, (and add the diced tomatoes and green olives now, if using).
  • Return the meat, vegetables and reserved bacon to the pot. Cover and bake in the oven until the meat is tender, 2 1/2-3 hours. -OR- alternately, at this stage you can cook in the crock-pot on LOW heat 8 to 10 hours, or on HIGH heat 4 to 6 hours.
  • Serve with a rustic bread for mopping the juices, along with a green salad and a platter of cheeses.
  • Freezes and reheats beautifully. Leftovers will make a lovely Cottage-Shepherd's Pie a la Provencale, see my recipe #355446.

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 dried bay leaf
3 whole cloves
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
3 strips orange zest, (2 to 3 inches each), plus 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped (about 1 cup)
2 garlic cloves, crushed with the flat side of a large knife
1 celery stalk, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1/2 cup)
3 medium carrots, cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces (about 1 1/4 cups)
1 bottle (750 mL) rich red wine, such as Cotes de Provence, Cotes du Rhone, Syrah, or Shiraz
4 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/2 cup homemade or low-sodium store-bought beef or chicken stock
1/2 cup nicoise olives, pitted and rinsed
Coarse salt

Steps:

  • Make a bouquet garni: Put thyme, bay leaf, cloves, peppercorns, and zest on a piece of cheesecloth; tie into a bundle. Combine onion, garlic, celery, carrots, bouquet garni, and wine in a large non-reactive bowl. Add beef, and toss to coat. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator 12 to 24 hours, stirring occasionally.
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Remove beef from wine mixture; pat dry with paper towels. Set aside. Transfer wine mixture to a heavy pot; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook half of the beef, turning, until deeply browned, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining oil and beef.
  • Stir tomato paste into stock; add to the skillet, scraping up browned bits with a wooden spoon. Add to wine mixture. Stir in olives and beef. Season with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
  • Cover daube; transfer to oven. Cook 2 hours. Reduce oven temperature to 275 degrees if daube starts to boil. After 2 hours, stir in orange juice. Cook until beef is very tender, about 30 minutes more.

Tips:

  • To enhance the flavor of your daube, marinate the meat for at least 12 hours before cooking. This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate into the meat and make it more tender and flavorful.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your daube. This will add color, texture, and flavor to the dish.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of wine and herbs. There are many variations of daube de boeuf bourguignonne, so feel free to adjust the recipe to your own taste.
  • Cook the daube slowly over low heat. This will help to tenderize the meat and develop the flavors.

Conclusion:

Daube de boeuf bourguignonne is a classic French dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is a hearty and flavorful stew that is sure to please everyone at your table. Be sure to serve it with a side of mashed potatoes or egg noodles to soak up all the delicious sauce.
