Preparing this dish is an experience in itself, as it takes you on a culinary journey that requires a bit of patience but promises an unforgettable taste. The process begins with cooking bacon to perfection, followed by seasoning the beef chuck roast with salt and pepper before coating it in flour. A generous amount of bacon fat is then used to brown the beef, ensuring a crispy exterior and a juicy interior.

As the aroma of the seared beef fills your kitchen, you'll move on to sautéing onions and garlic, adding a layer of flavor that will envelop the dish. The addition of tomato paste introduces a subtle sweetness, while the carrots add a touch of natural sweetness and color. The pièce de résistance comes with the addition of red wine, transforming the dish into a symphony of flavors that mingle and meld as it simmers for hours.

The final result is a dish that pays homage to French cuisine while adapting to modern dietary preferences. The beauty of Boeuf Bourguignon lies not only in its exquisite taste but also in its ability to be enjoyed as is or refrigerated and savored the next day. So why not embrace your inner chef and bring this timeless classic to your table? Your taste buds will thank you.

Ingredients

  • 0.3 pound bacon 
  • 3.5 pounds beef chuck boneless dry fat trimmed cut into 2-inch chunks, patted
  • serving coarse mustard 
  • 0.3 cup flour all-purpose
  • large onion chopped
  • large cloves garlic finely chopped
  • tablespoons tomato paste 
  • medium carrots 
  • cups wine dry red
  • 0.5 teaspoon thyme dried
  • serving pearl onions 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • sauce pan
  • slotted spoon

Directions

  1. In a 6-to-8-quart saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, cook bacon uncovered over medium-low heat until browned, 10 to 15 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate; set aside. Reserve bacon fat.
  2. Season beef generously with salt and pepper. In a large bowl, dredge beef in flour, shaking off excess. Raise heat to medium. Working in two batches, brown beef in bacon fat on all sides, without crowding, about 10 minutes per batch.
  3. Transfer each batch to a bowl.
  4. Pour 1/2 cup water into pan; bring to a boil. Cook, stirring, to loosen browned bits, until liquid has reduced to a few tablespoons, 2 to 3 minutes.
  5. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring, until slightly softened, 3 minutes.
  6. Add tomato paste; cook 1 minute.
  7. Add carrots, meat (with juices), wine, thyme, and reserved bacon. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer over low, stirring occasionally, until meat is tender, but not falling apart, 3 to 3 1/2 hours.
  8. Skim fat off surface of stew; discard. Stir Roasted Mushrooms and Pearl Onions into beef; season with salt and pepper.
  9. Serve, or refrigerate, covered, up to overnight.
