**Daube Provençale: A Classic French Beef Stew**

Daube Provençale is a classic French beef stew that is rich, flavorful, and perfect for a special occasion. Originating from the Provence region in southeastern France, this hearty dish is made with braised beef, red wine, vegetables, and herbs. The beef is typically marinated overnight in a mixture of red wine, garlic, herbs, and spices, which helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. The stew is then cooked slowly over low heat, allowing the flavors to meld and develop. Daube Provençale is traditionally served with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or polenta. This article provides two recipes for Daube Provençale: a classic version and a simplified version that uses a slow cooker. Both recipes are easy to follow and result in a delicious and satisfying stew. Whether you are a seasoned cook or a beginner, you are sure to enjoy this classic French dish.

DAUBE PROVENCALE



Daube Provencale image

"The best cut of meat for this dish is the neck, bone still in. But if you can't for some reason find neck, or prefer boneless meat, then use shoulder," says chef Anthony Bourdain. This is an exclusive recipe from him.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Lamb Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
3 pounds lamb neck and shoulder with bones, or 2 pounds boneless lamb shoulder, cut into 2-inch pieces
Salt
Pepper
1/2 pound bacon, cut into lardons (thick, oblong chunks of country bacon)
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 celery rib, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup white wine
1 cup strong, dark veal, chicken, or lamb stock (got some demi-glace? sneak in a spoonful)
1 small carrot, coarsely chopped
1 Bouquet Garni
Zest of 1 orange
2 potatoes, peeled and "turned," meaning cut into small football shapes, or just cube the things into large dice
4 sprigs of flat parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Prep the lamb: Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven on high heat. Add the butter. Foam it. Let it subside. Season the meat with salt and pepper. Sear on all sides in a hot pan, in batches if need be, until all of it is deep, dark brown. When browned, remove from the pan with the tongs and set aside.
  • Cook the stew: Add the bacon to the still-hot pan and cook until it's crispy and has rendered out its fat. Remove the bacon from the pan and set aside.
  • Discard most of the fat and then add the onion, celery, and garlic to the pan. Cook over medium-high heat until the vegetables have caramelized (browned), about 5 minutes. Using the wooden spoon, stir in the tomato paste and cook for about 1 minute. Stir in the flour and cook for an additional minute. Stir in the wine and scrape up all that brown stuff.
  • Bring the wine to a boil, reduce by half, then add the stock (and a teaspoon of demi-glace if you have any). Bring back to a boil and reduce immediately to a simmer. Add the lamb, carrot, bouquet garni, orange zest, and bacon. Season with salt and pepper, cover the pot, and simmer over low heat for about 90 minutes, occasionally skimming the fat from the surface of the stew.
  • After 90 minutes, add the potatoes to the stew and cook until they are tender, about 12 to 15 minutes. Skim the stew a final time, making sure there's no film of fat floating on the surface, then serve in a big old bowl, garnished with the chopped parsley.

In this classic French stew, beef is slow-simmered to tenderness. A red wine with herbal notes balances orange zest and thyme; egg noodles soak up the flavorful sauce.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

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.

PROVENçAL WHITE WINE BEEF DAUBE



Provençal White Wine Beef Daube image

A classic Provençal beef daube, or slow-baked stew, is made with quantities of red wine, like the recipes that Julia Child often made in her house in Provence, La Pitchoune. Patricia Wells, a former New York Times food writer in Paris, also lives part-time in the South of France, and she has adapted the daube for white wine, which plays a more subtle part in flavoring the stew. The large amount of liquid makes a tender braise that can also be served as a sauce for pasta: penne, gnocchi and long noodles like tagliatelle are familiar in the region, which borders Italy on the east.

Categories     soups and stews, main course

Time 5h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons brandy, eau-de-vie or Cognac
6 pounds boneless stewing beef, such as round, shin, blade or chuck, cut into 3-ounce chunks
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large onions, thinly sliced
4 carrots, peeled and thickly sliced
4 ounces mushrooms, trimmed and thickly sliced
1 head garlic, cloves separated, smashed and peeled
Grated zest of 1 orange, more for garnish (optional)
2 ripe tomatoes, chopped, or 1 cup canned tomato purée
2 bottles white wine
1 bouquet garni (1 small bunch fresh parsley, 6 to 8 sprigs fresh thyme and 2 bay leaves, tied together or bundled in cheesecloth)
1/2 to 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley, for garnish
Small pasta, such as orzo, mezze penne or conchiglie, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large bowl or sealable plastic bag, combine 2 tablespoons olive oil, the Cognac, the beef and a generous sprinkling of salt and pepper. Cover and set aside to marinate at room temperature for 2 hours.
  • Place a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 325 degrees.
  • In a wide, heavy casserole with a tight-fitting lid, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add onions, carrots, mushrooms, garlic, orange zest and 2 big pinches salt; stir well to coat and heat through. Reduce heat to low, cover, and sweat (cook without browning) for 8 to 10 minutes, until onions and garlic are softened.
  • Add beef and its marinade, tomatoes, wine, bouquet garni and peppercorns. Stir to combine.
  • Cover and bake in the center of the oven until meat is ultratender, 3 to 4 hours. There is no need to stir or baste, but check from time to time to make sure the liquid is at a very gentle simmer; boiling will make the meat tough.
  • When the stew is ready, adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper and serve immediately. Or, refrigerate overnight or longer, skim any hardened fat from the top, and reheat before serving.
  • Serve over hot pasta, garnished with parsley and orange zest, if desired.

Tips:

  • Add plenty of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrition to the daube. Use a variety of vegetables, such as carrots, onions, celery, and tomatoes.
  • Cook the daube low and slow: Braising the daube over low heat for several hours allows the flavors to develop and the beef to become tender.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes or egg noodles: Daube provençale is traditionally served with mashed potatoes or egg noodles. These dishes help to soak up the delicious sauce.
