Time 4h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 28

3 cups dry red wine
2 cups beef stock
1/4 cup brandy
1 large onion, quartered with the root end attached
2 carrots, cut into 3-inch pieces
4 cloves garlic, sliced
12 sprigs parsley
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
10 black peppercorns
4 whole cloves
4 allspice berries
1 bay leaf
3 pounds well-marbled beef chuck, cut into 2 1/2-inch pieces
8 ounces slab bacon
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus 1 tablespoon softened
1 tablespoon olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
All-purpose flour, for dredging, plus 1 tablespoon
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 pound pearl onions, blanched and carefully peeled
Pinch sugar
1 pound small cremini or button mushrooms
1 tablespoon flour
Parsley-Rimmed Croutons, recipe follows
6 slices firm white bread, crusts removed, cut into 6 circles
3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
1/4 cup very finely minced fresh parsley leaves

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the red wine, beef stock, brandy, onion, carrots, garlic, parsley sprigs, thyme, rosemary, peppercorns, cloves, allspice, and bay leaf and stir well. Add the beef and stir. Refrigerate, covered, overnight.
  • Drain the beef and reserve the marinade and vegetables separately. Pat the beef dry with paper towels. Set the beef and vegetables aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
  • Remove the outer rind of the slab bacon. Cut the bacon into lardons: 1 inch long strips about 1/4- inch thick. In a small saucepan, cover the lardons and the rind with cold water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat, and simmer for 3 minutes. Drain the lardons and rind, pat them dry, and reserve both.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the lardons and cook, stirring, until crisp and their fat has rendered. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the lardons to paper towels to drain.
  • Season the beef with salt and pepper, dredge in the flour, and shake off any excess.
  • Raise the heat to high and, working in batches, brown the beef. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the beef to a plate. Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of fat and return to high heat. Add the reserved vegetable mixture and tomato paste and cook, stirring occasionally, until well browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Return all of the browned beef to the pot. Add the reserved marinade liquid, and reserved bacon rind. Bring to a boil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer the stew to the oven and cook, covered, until the beef is very tender, about 3 hours.
  • Remove the stew from the oven. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the beef to a plate. Strain the liquid and discard the solids. Return the beef and strained broth to the Dutch oven with the lardons.
  • Put the pearl onions in a skillet with 1 tablespoon of butter and the sugar. Cover the onions with water and season with salt and pepper. Simmer the onions over medium-high heat until almost tender. Raise heat to high, and reduce the cooking liquid to about 2 tablespoons. Continue to cook the onions, shaking the pan over the heat, until the onions are golden brown and glazed. Transfer the onions to the stew.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons of butter in another skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper. Cook the mushrooms, tossing often, until golden brown, about 7 minutes. Transfer the mushrooms to the stew.
  • In a small bowl, cream together the tablespoon of softened butter with the tablespoon of flour. Roll the mixture into pea-sized pieces.
  • Bring the stew to a simmer and, while stirring gently, add enough beurre manie, bit by bit, to lightly thicken the sauce.
  • Divide the stew among 6 shallow soup plates and garnish each with a crouton. Serve immediately with pasta or boiled potatoes.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Brush both sides of the bread with the butter and arrange them on a baking sheet. Bake the croutons until golden brown. Dip the edges of the bread in the stew to moisten; then in parsley to lightly coat the edges.
  • Yield: 6 croutons

Categories     Dinner

Time 3h15m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 ounces (170g) bacon, (roughly chopped)
3 pounds (1 1/2 kg) beef brisket, trimmed of fat ((chuck steak or stewing beef) cut into 2-inch chunks)
1 large carrot (sliced 1/2-inch thick)
1 large white onion, (diced)
6 cloves garlic, (minced (divided))
1 pinch coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons flour
12 small pearl onions ((optional))
3 cups red wine (like Merlot, Pinot Noir, or a Chianti -- for a milder sauce, use only 2 cups of wine)
2-3 cups beef stock ((if using 2 cups of wine, use 3 cups beef stock))
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 beef bullion cube, (crushed)
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, (finely chopped)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, (finely chopped (divided))
2 bay leaves
1 pound fresh small white or brown mushrooms, (quartered)
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Heat the oil in a large dutch oven or heavy based pot. Sauté the bacon over medium heat for about 3 minutes, until crisp and browned. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a large dish and set aside.
  • Pat dry beef with paper towel; sear in batches in the hot oil/bacon fat until browned on all sides. Remove to the dish with the bacon.
  • In the remaining oil/bacon fat, sauté the carrots and diced onions until softened, (about 3 minutes), then add 4 cloves minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Drain excess fat (leave about 1 tablespoon in the pan) and return the bacon and beef back into the pot; season with 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper. Sprinkle with flour, toss well and cook for 4-5 minutes to brown.
  • Add the pearl onions, wine and enough stock so that the meat is barely covered. Then add the tomato paste, bullion and herbs. Bring to a simmer on the stove.
  • Cover, transfer to lower part of the oven and simmer for 2 to 3 hours, or until the meat is fall apart tender (adjust the heat so that the liquid simmers very slowly).
  • In the last 5 minutes of cooking time, prepare your mushrooms:Heat the butter in a medium-sized skillet/pan over heat. When the foam subsides, add the remaining 2 cloves garlic and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds), then add in the mushrooms. Cook for about 5 minutes, while shaking the pan occasionally to coat with the butter. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Once they are browned, set aside.
  • Place a colander over a large pot (I do this in my clean kitchen sink). Remove the casserole from the oven and carefully empty its contents into the colander (you want to collect the sauce only). Discard the herbs
  • Return the beef mixture back into the dutch oven or pot. Add the mushrooms over the meat.
  • Remove any fat off the sauce( if any) and simmer for a minute or two, skimming off any additional fat which rises to the surface.
  • You should be left with about 2 1/2 cups of sauce thick enough to coat the back of a spoon lightly. If the sauce is too thick, add a few tablespoons of stock. If the sauce is too thin, boil it over medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until reduced to the right consistency.
  • Taste for seasoning and adjust salt and pepper, if desired. Pour the sauce over the meat and vegetables.
  • If you are serving immediately, simmer the beef bourguignon for 2 to 3 minutes to heat through.Garnish with parsley and serve with mashed potatoes, rice or noodles.
  • To serve the following day, allow the casserole to cool completely, cover and refrigerate.The day of serving, remove from refrigerator for at least an hour before reheating. Place over medium-low heat and let simmer gently for about 10 minutes, basting the meat and vegetables with the sauce.

STOVETOP BEEF BURGUNDY (BOEUF À LA BOURGUIGNONNE )



STOVETOP BEEF BURGUNDY (BOEUF À LA BOURGUIGNONNE ) image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Beef     Stew     Quick & Easy     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Dinner

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound stew meat, pre-cubed.
1 bottle of cabernet, merlot, or burgundy red wine. (I usually employ the "if I were a rich man" variety, meaning that "if I were a rich man" I would never drink something that cheap. I don't drink wine with this stew, because the wine I use is so low quality.)
Two to three parsnips (giant, white carrots).
One tiny can of tomato paste (of which you will use about a tablespoon).
One potato.
1 medium onion.
1 green pepper.
1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, or a teaspoon of chopped garlic cloves.
Two cans of pre-cooked mushroom bits and pieces (or use your preferred variety and quantity. This stew cooks long and slow on the stovetop, so there's time for the mushrooms to cook.)
Olive Oil.
Salt to taste.

Steps:

  • Clean and chop onion, parsnips, and green pepper. Put parsnips in a little water in a microwave safe dish, and cook until they begin to become tender in your microwave. (This speeds preparation.) Bake one, medium potato in microwave, let it cool, and remove the skin, then chop into small cubes,mash, and set aside. (You will eventually want this to break up entirely in the stew to thicken it when you add it at end, so mashing the cubes with a fork is a good idea before adding it to stew.) Introduce olive oil and stew beef into a large stew pot on stovetop on medium heat and begin to brown beef on the outside. Add onion and green pepper strips and cook until onion begins to soften. Add mushrooms, and wait until mushrooms begins to soften (if you aren't using pre-cooked mushrooms from a can), then add entire bottle of wine to stew pot. Turn the heat down to medium low. Add partially cooked parsnips, and put a lid on this. Let it slow cook until beef becomes tender, stirring occassionally. This may take up to an hour or so. (Stew meat will remain tough unless slow cooked over a low heat for a long time. If slow cooked long enough, it will become very tende.) When you are near the end, add garlic and salt to taste. When beef is done, Add your mashed potato and stir it into stew until it disappears. This should thicken the stew via the potato starch. At the very end, add about a tablespoon of tomato paste. (Use more or less to your taste. If you add more tomato paste, you can add "Italien" to the end of the French name). Bon Appe'tit!

BOEUF BOURGUIGNON

Boeuf bourguignon may be made 1 day ahead. Cool, uncovered, then chill, covered (it tastes even better made ahead because it gives the flavors time to develop). If making ahead, it's easier to remove fat from surface after chilling.

BOEUF BOURGUIGNON A LA JULIA CHILD



Boeuf Bourguignon a La Julia Child image

This is the classic, adapted from "Mastering the Art of French Cooking." A wonderful dish, raising the simple stew to an art form and quite simple to make -- even though the instructions look long. Use Simple Beef Stock, the recipe for which is posted on this site. Use a wine that you would drink -- not cooking wine. And the better the cut of beef, the better the stew. As the beef is combined with braised onions and sauteed mushrooms, all that is needed to complete your main course is a bowl of potatoes or noodles and lots of good bread for the sauce.

  • Drain and dry the lardons and rind and reserve.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 450°F.

  • Saute the lardons for 2 to 3 minutes to brown lightly.
  • Remove to a side dish with a slotted spoon.
  • Dry off the pieces of beef and saute them, a few at a time in the hot oil/bacon fat until nicely browned on all sides.

  • Wash out the casserole and return the beef and bacon to it (discarding the bits of carrot and onion and herbs which remain in the sieve).
  • Distribute the mushrooms and onions over the meat.
  • Skim the fat off the sauce and simmer it for a minute or two, skimming off any additional fat which rises to the surface.
  • You should be left with about 2 1/2 cups of sauce thick enough to coat a spoon lightly.
  • If the sauce is too thick, add a few tablespoons of stock.
  • If the sauce is too thin, boil it down to reduce to the right consistency.
  • Taste for seasoning.
  • Pour the sauce over the meat and vegetables.
  • If you are serving immediately, place the covered casserole over medium low heat and simmer 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Serve in the casserole or on a warm platter surrounded by noodles, potatoes or rice and garnished with fresh parsley.
  • If serving later or the next day, allow the casserole to cool and place cold, covered casserole in the refrigerator.
  • 20 minutes prior to serving, place over medium low heat and simmer very slowly for ten minutes, occasionally basting the meat and vegetables with the sauce.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality beef. Look for chuck roast or short ribs that are well-marbled, as this will help to ensure that the meat is tender and flavorful.
  • Brown the beef in batches. This will help to prevent the beef from stewing and ensure that it gets a nice brown crust.
  • Use a good quality red wine. The wine will add depth and flavor to the stew, so it's important to choose one that you enjoy drinking.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 2 hours. This will allow the flavors to develop and the meat to become tender.
  • Serve the stew over mashed potatoes or egg noodles. This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Beef Burgundy is a classic French dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is a rich and flavorful stew that is sure to impress your guests. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this dish at home. So next time you're looking for a special meal to make, give Beef Burgundy a try.
