Time 2h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon olive oil
8 slices smoked bacon, chopped
2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
5 sprigs fresh thyme
4 medium carrots, chopped
1 large yellow onion, halved and sliced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
One 750-milliliter bottle good dry red wine, such as Cote du Rhone
2 cups beef stock
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium- high heat, then add the bacon and cook until crisp, about 10 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon to a large plate.
  • Meanwhile, dry the beef cubes with paper towels and season them with salt and pepper. In batches in single layers, sear the beef in the hot bacon drippings, turning to brown on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes per batch. Remove the seared cubes to the plate with the bacon and continue searing until all the beef is browned.
  • Add the thyme, carrots, onion and tomato paste to the pot. Toss in the fat in the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Put the beef and bacon back in the pot with their juices. Add the wine plus enough beef stock to almost cover the meat. Bring to a simmer, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and bake for 1 1/2 hours.
  • Put the butter and flour in a small saucepan over medium heat and whisk together constantly until the raw flavor of the flour cooks out, 2 to 3 minutes. Put the beef Bourguignon over medium heat, stir in the butter mixture and cook until the stew thickens and the meat is very tender when pierced with a fork, about 15 minutes. Remove the thyme stems and serve.

The beef bourguignon was good, but not great. The beef was a little tough, and the sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would not make this recipe again.

I've made beef bourguignon many times before, but this recipe is by far the best. The addition of red wine and mushrooms really elevates the flavor. I will definitely be making this again and again.

This beef bourguignon was an absolute delight! The flavors were rich and complex, and the beef was fall-apart tender. I served it over mashed potatoes, and it was the perfect comfort food for a cold winter night.
