Cooking Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Cut the beef chuck into 2-inch cubes, slice the carrots, quarter the mushrooms, and dice the onions. Mince the garlic and set all ingredients aside.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Beef

    In a large bowl, combine the beef cubes with the red wine, 1 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sear the Beef

    In a large Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Remove the beef from the marinade (reserve the marinade) and pat dry with paper towels. Sear the beef cubes in batches until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Remove beef and set aside.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, add the butter and reduce heat to medium. Add the onions and cook until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Then add the garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add the carrots and mushrooms, cooking until they are lightly browned, about 5 minutes.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Return the seared beef to the pot with the vegetables. Sprinkle the thyme and add the bay leaves. Pour in the reserved marinade and beef broth, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 6

    Braise the Beef

    Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let it braise for 2-3 hours, or until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally and check for seasoning, adding more salt and pepper to taste.

Serving

  1. 7

    Serve

    Remove the bay leaves before serving. Ladle the Beef Bourguignon into bowls and serve hot with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes.
