Beef Bourguignon

Print Recipe

A cozy classic French dish featuring tender beef, earthy mushrooms, carrots, and a luscious red wine sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs beef chuck, cut into 1.5-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 slices of bacon, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 carrots, sliced
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 3 cups red wine
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Sear the beef in a large Dutch oven with olive oil over medium-high heat until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
  2. Cook the bacon until crispy and fat has rendered, about 5 minutes.
  3. Sauté the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes, then add garlic and cook for another minute.
  4. Add the carrots and mushrooms, and cook for another 5 minutes.
  5. Deglaze with tomato paste and then pour in wine, scraping the bottom of the pot.
  6. Return the beef, broth, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and pepper to the pot and bring to a gentle simmer.
  7. Slow cook for 150-180 minutes until beef is fork-tender.
  8. Final seasoning: taste the sauce and adjust seasoning, removing bay leaves before serving.

Notes

Serve with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley and a crusty baguette or creamy mashed potatoes.
