Prep time: 30 minutesCook time: 3 hoursServes: 6
Ingredients
2 lbs beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tbsp olive oil
8 oz bacon, diced
3 cups red wine
2 cups beef broth
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
1 bay leaf
1 lb pearl onions, peeled
8 oz mushrooms, quartered
4 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
2 lbs potatoes, peeled and quartered
4 tbsp butter
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
2. Season the beef cubes with salt and pepper, then lightly coat them with flour.
3. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches, then remove and set aside.
4. In the same pot, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove and set aside, leaving the drippings.
5. Add the red wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits.
6. Return the beef and bacon to the pot. Add beef broth, tomato paste, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer.
7. Cover the pot and transfer to the oven. Cook for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
8. While the beef cooks, prepare the garlic mash. Boil potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and return to the pot.
9. Add butter, heavy cream, and minced garlic to the potatoes. Mash until smooth and creamy.
10. After 2 hours, add pearl onions and mushrooms to the beef. Continue cooking for another 30 minutes.
11. Remove from oven; discard bay leaf. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
12. Serve Beef Bourguignon hot with a generous serving of garlic mash.
