1 Beef Bourguignon
This dish was originally prepared in Frances Burgundy region hence the name. The name may also come from the fact that it is made with burgundy wine.
Makes 4 Servings
Cooking + Prep Time: 3 hours
Ingredients:
2 lbs. of 1 & 1/2"-cubed beef shoulder
Kosher salt & ground pepper, as desired
1/4 cup of oil, olive
4 thinly sliced onions, medium
2 tbsp. of flour, all-purpose
1 cup of burgundy, red
6 x 1-sliced carrots
1 garlic clove
1 herb bundle, tied: bay, thyme & parsley
To garnish: a bit of chopped parsley, flat-leaf
Instructions:
Season meat using kosher salt & ground pepper.
In large pot, heat oil on high till nearly smoking. Add meat in small batches. Sear till browned on each side. Remove meat as it sears and set it aside.
Once you have seared all the beef and set it aside, add onions to pot. Reduce heat level to med-high for 10-12 minutes, till onions become golden brown and softened. Sprinkle flour over onions. Stir occasionally while cooking for 4-6 minutes more. Add burgundy. Bring wine to boil while scraping bottom of pot.
Return beef to pot. Add garlic, carrots & herb bundle. Add sufficient water to bring level to 3 parts of liquid to every 2 parts of meat.
Bring to boil and reduce to gentle simmer. Allow dish to cook till meat becomes tender enough that you can easily break it apart, roughly 2 hours. Check dish every 15-20 minutes, scraping bottom and stirring. Skim off oil or foam, if any, that collects on surface.
Remove & discard herb bundle. Add parsley & serve.
