Classic Beef Bourguignon is a rich and comforting French dish made with tender beef, red wine, and aromatic vegetables, slow-cooked to perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs beef chuck, cut into cubes
  • 1 bottle dry red wine
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 4 oz bacon, diced
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 8 oz pearl onions
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C).
  • In a large Dutch oven, cook bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside.
  • Sear the beef cubes in the bacon fat until browned, then remove and set aside.
  • Add olive oil, then sauté onions, carrots, and garlic until softened. Stir in tomato paste, thyme, and flour.
  • Deglaze with red wine and add beef broth, bay leaves, beef, and bacon. Bring to a simmer.

  • Serve with crusty bread, mashed potatoes, or buttered noodles.
  • Leftovers taste even better the next day as flavors meld.
