Method

Boeuf Bourguignon Preparation

  1. 1

    Sear the Beef Cheek

    In a large Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Season the beef cheek with salt and pepper. Add the beef to the pot and sear on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Lardons

    In the same pot, add the lardons and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove the lardons with a slotted spoon and set aside with the beef.

  3. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    Add the pearl onions, carrots, and mushrooms to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.

  4. 4

    Add Garlic and Return Meats

    Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Return the beef cheek and lardons to the pot.

  5. 5

    Deglaze with Wine

    Pour in the red wine, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pot. Bring to a simmer.

  6. 6

    Add Stock and Herbs

    Add the beef stock, thyme, bay leaf, and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer.

  7. 7

    Braise the Beef

    Cover the pot and let it braise on low heat for 2 to 2.5 hours until the beef is tender.
