How To Make Beef Bourguignon Recipe?

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).
2. Season the Beef: Season beef cubes with salt and black pepper.
3. Sear the Beef: Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and sear on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the beef and set it aside.
4. Cook the Onion and Garlic: In the same pot, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic over medium heat until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
5. Add Wine and Herbs: Stir in the red wine, beef broth, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf. Bring the mixture to a boil.
6. Return the Beef and Add Extras: Return the seared beef to the pot, then add the diced bacon and whole mushrooms. Stir to combine.
7. Bake in the Oven: Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the oven. Bake for 2-2.5 hours, or until the beef is tender and the sauce has developed rich flavors.
8. Prepare the Thickened Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the mixture turns a light golden color. Gradually spoon in 240ml (1 cup) of the cooking liquid from the pot, stirring constantly until smooth and thickened.
9. Combine and Garnish: Pour the thickened sauce back into the pot and stir well to coat the beef and vegetables. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley.
10. Serve: Serve hot with creamy mashed potatoes or crusty bread to soak up the rich sauce.

Recipe Tips:

• Choose Good Beef: Use beef chuck for juicy, tender bites.
• Brown the Beef: Sear the beef until it’s golden—it adds a big flavor!
• Pick the Right Wine: Use dry red wine like Merlot for a rich taste.
• Thicken Smoothly: Stir the sauce carefully to keep it creamy.
• Let It Rest: Rest the stew for 10 minutes before serving to boost flavor.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Cool the Beef Bourguignon to room temperature, then put it in an airtight container. Keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: Cool it completely, then freeze it in a container with space at the top. Use within 3 months.
• Reheat: Place the stew in a pot and warm it on medium heat, stirring often, for 10 minutes.
