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 !

Beef Bourguignon | Beef Stew With Burgundy Wine
Beef Bourguignon, which is also known as Beef Burgundy or Boeuf Bourguignon is a delicious, French beef stew, made famous by Julia Child. Join Eric from Simply Elegant Home Cooking as he demonstrates his take on this classic stew! The key here is to SLOWLY cook the stew on low heat over a long period of time to tenderize and maximize the flavor. Additional flavor is also added by using a whole 750ml bottle of burgundy wine. The dish can be served as a traditional stew or reduced further and served over top of mashed potatoes.
Ingredients:
-2 ½ lbs chuck roast
-3 strips bacon
-1 tablespoon cooking oil
-4 tablespoon butter
-3 tablespoon flour
-1 large white onion
-6 carrots
-2 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
-3 tablespoon tomato paste
-3 cloves garlic
-750ml red burgundy wine
-2 cups HOMEMADE beef stock
-12 ounce red pearl onions
-12 ounce cremini mushrooms
-salt and pepper to taste
-1 handful fresh parsley (optional)
Directions:
-Remove meat from fridge an hour before cooking, blot it dry with a paper towel, cut into large chunks, and season liberally with salt and pepper.
-Preheat a large French oven, also known as a Dutch Oven, over medium heat for 15 minutes until full temperature is reached.
-Dice the bacon, add the oil to the French Oven, and sauté the bacon until crispy. Remove the bacon to a plate.
-In the same pan, sear the beef. It is very important to get a deep color on the meat so be sure not to over crowd the pan. Sear in two batches if needed.
-After roughly 3 minutes per side, remove the beef and set aside on a plate.
-In the same pan, add in the onion and the carrots and sauté until they have softened. Be sure to season with more salt and pepper at this stage too.
-After onions and carrots are softened, add in the garlic, thyme, and tomato paste. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly so as not to burn the garlic.
-Deglaze the pan with the red wine, and add back in the bacon and the beef. Add the beef stock and bring back up to a simmer.
-Once the beef stew is up to a simmer, turn off the stovetop, partially cover the stew, and place the pot into a preheated 300 degree oven. The beef bourguignon will cook in the oven for roughly 3 hours, or until tender.
-After about 2 ½ hrs, preheat a large skillet and add 2 tablespoon of butter along with the mushrooms and pearl onions. Add a little salt and pepper and sauté for about 10 minutes or until caramelized.
-Once the onions and mushrooms are ready, remove the Beef Bourguignon from the oven, add in the onions and mushrooms, and stir to incorporate. Remove the lid and let the dish cook for another 15 minutes or so either back in the oven or on the stovetop over medium low heat.
-In the Meantime, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter with the flour, mash with a fork, and add this to the beef stew. Stir to incorporate. This will thicken the sauce as it cooks for the final 15 minutes.
-Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, serve and enjoy!
