Beef Bourguignon
Beef Bourguignon is a rich and hearty French stew that transforms simple ingredients into a comforting masterpiece. Start by searing chunks of beef chuck in oil until browned.
Set aside, then sauté onions, carrots, and garlic in the same pot. Add tomato paste, then deglaze with red wine—traditionally Burgundy—and scrape up the flavorful bits. Return the beef, add beef stock, bay leaves, thyme, and simmer slowly for hours until the meat is tender.
For extra depth, cook pearl onions and mushrooms separately and add them in toward the end. Some recipes include a dash of cognac or pancetta for added richness. Serve hot over buttered noodles, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
For quicker versions, use a pressure cooker or slow cooker. Regardless of method, the result is a deeply flavorful, soul-warming dish that embodies rustic French cooking at its best. Bon appétit!
