*RECIPE*
▪3-5lb/1.5-2kg Beef chuck roast
▪225g (5 large) Shallot or onion, chunky diced
▪225g (3 large) Carrots, cut into obliques
▪225g (4-6 stalks) Celery, cut into 1-2”/3-5cm pieces
▪20g (4-5 cloves) Garlic, minced
▪Neutral, high smokepoint oil (canola, vegetable, soy, avocado)
▪50g (3 1/2T) unsalted butter
▪25g (1 1/2 tomato paste
▪25g (3T) flour (all purpose or gluten free flour blend. I used bob’s red mill 1 to 1)
▪150g (2/3c) red wine
▪25g (1 1/2T) worcestershire
▪15g (1T) better than bouillon beef base
▪750g (3c) beef stock
▪2 bay leaves
▪3-4 springs fresh thyme
Liberally salt all sides of the chuck roast and allow it to sit at room temp for 20 minutes.
While the beef brines, prep the veggies. Cut shallot into a chunky dice. Cut celery into 1-2”/3-5cm long planks. Cut carrots into obliques (see video @1:26) or a large chunky dice. Mince garlic.
Before searing, dry beef very well on all sides with a towel.
Preheat a dutch oven or large heavy-bottomed pot over high heat. Add a long squeeze of neutral oil. Drop in salted roast and press the meat down into the pan. Sear for 6-7 minutes until a brown crust has formed. Flip and sear on the second side for 5-6min. Transfer to a plate.
Return the pot to medium heat and add 50g of butter, followed by veggies, garlic, and a large pinch of salt. Stir and cook to caramelize and slightly soften for about 3 min. Add tomato paste. Stir and saute for about 2 minutes until it has taken on a darker rusty color. Stir in flour for 30-60 sec.
Add in wine, worcestershire and stir to deglaze solids on the bottom of the pot. When slightly thickened, add better than bouillon and stock. Bring to a simmer. When simmering, snuggle the seared beef into the pot so that it’s touching the bottom of the pot. Add bay and thyme.
Add a probe thermometer if you have one, set the temp to 195F/90C. cover the pot leaving the lid slightly ajar, and load into a 275F/135C oven to cook for 4-5 hours. Checking on the beef in about 2 hours when the temp hits 195F. Check the meat at this point. It shouldn’t be shreddable yet. Return the lid to the pot, and return the pot to the oven to cook for about 2-3 more hours, checking the roast gain at the 4-4.5 hour mark. You’re now looking to maintain the temperature of about 190-205F/90C for a few more hours until the meat is fork tender and shreddable, but does not totally fall apart. If internal temp rises above this temp, turn down the oven to maintain 190-205F/90C. When done, you'll be able to easily pull the meat apart with forks. Taste sauce for seasoning and add salt if needed.
Allow beef to rest in the cooking liquids for about 30 minutes while you finish your potatoes.
Serve a chunk of beef on top of baked bashed potatoes along with a few of the roasted veggies and extra sauce.

RECIPE
------
▪5-6lb or 2 1/2kg beef chuck roast
▪1 large onion
▪5 large carrots
▪2 celery stalks
▪1 head of garlic, cut in half
▪A few sprigs of thyme
▪2 bay leaves
▪750ml/1 bottle dry red wine (i’m using pinot noir)
▪1500g or 1.5L beef stock + additional 480g or 2 cups beef stock
▪25g or 1 3/4Tbsp tomato paste
▪42g or 1.5oz demi glace
▪230g or 1c water (to scrape fond from sheet tray)
▪4 packets or 1oz total? of powdered gelatine
▪1/2kg or 1lb of cremini mushrooms
▪6 small-medium yukon gold potatoes, peeled
▪57g or 4 Tbsp ( ½ stick) butter
▪Salt
▪Olive oil
Preheat oven to 550F or as high as it will go. Cube up meat, cutting off large chunks of fat. Coat with a generous glug or two of olive oil and plenty of salt. Toss to coat, then place meat on a sheet tray. Roast in the oven for 15-20min then remove from oven.
Peel and roughly chop onion, 1 carrot, and celery. Add bottle of wine to large heavy bottomed pot over high heat and add in onion, carrot, celery, garlic, and herbs and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and cook for 15-20min. Reduce oven heat to 300f and add 1500g beef stock, tomato paste, and demi glace.
With heat off, place a doubled layer of cheesecloth over your large pot (see video @3:50) and place been chunks on top of cheesecloth. Pour water into sheet tray and use a wooden spoon to scrape up as much fond as possible and add that into the pot. Tuck cheese cloth into pot and around beef, heat over med-high until simmering, then cover, and cook in the oven at 300F/148C for about 3 hours. Check the progress after about 2 hours, remove the lid and continue to cook for another 45min-1hour. When meat is braised properly it should be fork tender, but not completely falling apart. Allow to pot to cool slightly on the counter before placing in the fridge to cool completely.
After cooled (i usually allow it to sit overnight), skim off as much fat as possible. Reheat the pot over medium heat to re-liquify. Once melted, remove beef from braising liquid. Using a fine mesh strainer, strain out and separate all solids from your braising liquid, making sure to squeeze out liquid from cheesecloth and veg. Skim off any excessive fat.
Add strained liquid back into pot and heat to a simmer over medium high to reduce for about 45min or until thickened.
Dissolve gelatine into 2 cups beef stock and allow to bloom for 5 minutes and add to braising liquid.
Roughly chop carrots and mushrooms.
When braising liquid is reduced by ⅔ add carrots and continue to cook for about 15 more minutes.
Preheat nonstick pan over med-high heat. Add in olive oil (about 25g or generous squeeze) and add mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 12 minutes over medium heat. Once golden brown, add mushrooms into braising liquid.
When liquid is reduced to about 20% of it’s original volume and bubbles are becoming large, add beef back to braising liquid, spooning sauce over meat as it warms. Cook for 10 more minutes to continue reducing by about 5-10% more.
Make smashed potatoes. Dice potatoes into 1” dice, add to sauce pan, cover with water, and bring to simmer then reduce heat to low and cook until done. Add butter and large pinch of salt. Mash and taste for seasoning.
Serve beef, carrots, mushrooms and sauce over smashed potatoes.

My Grandma’s (Secret) Beef Bourguignon FULL Recipe
—---------------------------------------------------
#1 thing to do, watch the video a second time. You will pick things you did not see the first time.
You can cook this the day before, chill it rapidly using for example your sink filled with ice cold water, and then refrigerate (if you eat the next day) or freeze in manageable quantities (for later)
—-----------------
INGREDIENTS
—-----------------
1.5 to 2kg low cuts of Beef : Shin and Chuck.
Can’t find this ? Go for something meaty and something gelatinous.
1 bottle of wine, 75cl. Ideally something robust.
1.5 liter of organic beef broth / beef stock
2 medium sized carrots.
2 medium sized onions
400 g thick-cut bacon cut into small pieces
400 g button mushrooms. Smaller are more suited.
20-30 pearl onions (about 300g)
2 tsp sugar
Seasoning to taste.
1 tbsp AP flour or 1 tbsp cornstarch, diluted in half a glass of cold water.
(if you want it creamier and a little thicker you can use 2 tbsp)
Tomato puree : 2 tsp.
Bunch of herbs :
4 sprigs of Thyme
2-3 Bay leaves
1 Green part of leek
1 Celery stalk
5 garlic cloves
—-----------
Marination
—-----------
cut meat into 2-3 inch pieces. They shrink a bit during cooking.
Add onions, carrots and the meat to a big container.
Drop the wine. All of it. Keep a glass for yourself, you deserve it.
Let this marinate in the fridge for 1 hour. I did it at room temperature because my studio is pretty cold.
THE STEW
—------------
Strain the meat, pat it dry, Season with kosher salt
Sear the meat in oil until nicely coloured on both sides.
Discard the oil.
Sprinkle with a heaped tbsp of flour. Thickener.
Cook for a minute, stirring. Then drop the wine and the stock.
2 tsp of tomato purée for umami and colour.
Flambé safely : Don’t put your head over it, don’t do it under the kitchen hood, keep your distances.
Bring to a boil, skim the scum regularly.
Two cooking options :
#1 the oven :
2 hours at 200°C or 400°F then a little check, then again 2 hours at 200°C
#2 the stove :
Low heat, 4 hours the first three with a lid.
In both cases, the meat should be super soft and tender. If not, keep cooking.
—------------
Garnishes :
—------------
Cook all three garnishes during the last hour of the stew.
Place all peeled pearl onions in a pan.
Add a knob of butter, 2 tsp sugar , water till they are halfway covered
Top with a lid or with a piece of parchment paper, with a hole in the center.
About 10-15 minutes will cook and caramelise them.
When the water is gone, they should be ready (prick with a knife to see if it's soft).
If not, add water and continue. If yes, Set aside
Cut bacon into sticks ; 1inch long1/4inch wide (lardons),
Fry them on medium heat until caramelisation appears.
Remove fat (keep for cooking your next omelet)
Set aside.
Cut mushrooms into quarters, halves or leave whole if they are small.
Place them in a pan covered with a bit of beef stock.
5 minutes is all they need.
----------
Finish
—----
Add ¾ of the garnishes to the stew, one piece of dark chocolate and cook together for 30 minutes. Top plates with a little more garnishes and some fresh thyme.
Sauce should be glossy. If not you can always drop in a few knobs of cold butter off the heat, and swirl around until melted.
Piece of bread on the side and MOP AWAY !

Binging with Babish: Boeuf Bourguignon from Julie & Julia
Frequently, watching a Meryl Streep movie means you're watching it for Meryl Streep, and not much else. But in the case of Julie & Julia, a host of stunning food porn accompanies Streep's charming turn as the late/great Julia Child. Does the recipe from Julia's first-ever television appearance stand the test of time?
