Beef Bourguignon
Description
This Beef Bourguignon begins by coating beef stew meat in flour, salt, and pepper, then browning it in butter. Aromatic vegetables like pearl onions and carrots are briefly sautéed before adding garlic and red wine, along with a bay leaf and fresh thyme. The beef returns to the pot for a slow cook in the oven at a low temperature, allowing the meat to become tender and infused with the rich wine-based sauce.
After two hours of braising, mushrooms are added for the final hour of cooking, which adds texture and earthiness to the stew. The end result is a deeply flavored, tender beef dish with soft vegetables, suitable for serving with potatoes, noodles, or crusty bread.
Using an oven for slow, even heat helps develop the stew’s classic characteristics. The recipe is designed for a straightforward, traditional approach to this French stew.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds beef stew meat
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper coarse ground
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 12 ounces pearl onions frozen
- 2 carrot cut into 2 inch coins
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups red wine Burgundy
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon thyme fresh
- 8 ounces brown mushrooms
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
- Toss the beef with the flour, salt and pepper and add to a large dutch oven that is on medium high heat with the butter melted in it and brown the beef on all sides, about 4-5 minutes.
- Remove the meat from the pot and add in the onions and carrots and cook for 4-5 minutes until they start to brown before adding in the garlic, wine, bay leaf, thyme and the beef.
- Cover and cook in the oven for 2 hours then add in the mushrooms and cook for an additional 1 hour.
Notes
- Use a kitchen timer aligned with the cooking steps to manage cooking times efficiently.
- Browning the beef thoroughly develops flavor before slow cooking.
- The long braise produces tender beef and allows flavors to meld deeply.
