Beef Bourguignon Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Ingredients

   Start by seasoning the beef with salt and black pepper. Cut the bacon into small pieces and chop the onions, carrots, and garlic.

2. 2

   Cook the Bacon

   In a large Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced bacon and cook until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pot.

3. 3

   Brown the Beef

   In the same pot, add the beef chunks in batches, searing them on all sides until browned. Remove the beef and set aside.

4. 4

   Sauté the Vegetables

   Add the chopped onions, carrots, and garlic to the pot. Sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Deglaze the Pot

   Pour in the red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let it simmer for a few minutes.

6. 6

   Combine and Simmer

   Return the beef and bacon to the pot. Add the beef broth, thyme, bay leaf, and mushrooms. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 2 to 3 hours, or until the beef is tender.

7. 7

   Final Seasoning

   Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
