BEEF BOURGUIGNON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven. Add the bacon and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the bacon is lightly browned. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to a large plate.
• Dry the beef cubes with paper towels and then sprinkle them with salt and pepper. In batches in single layers, sear the beef in the hot oil for 3 to 5 minutes, turning to brown on all sides. Remove the seared cubes to the plate with the bacon and continue searing until all the beef is browned. Set aside.
• Toss the carrots, and onions, 1 tablespoon of salt and 2 teaspoons of pepper in the fat in the pan and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are lightly browned. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Add the Cognac, stand back, and ignite with a match to burn off the alcohol. Put the meat and bacon back into the pot with the juices. Add the bottle of wine plus enough beef broth to almost cover the meat. Add the tomato paste and thyme. Bring to a simmer, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and place it in the oven for about 1 1/4 hours or until the meat and vegetables are very tender when pierced with a fork.
• Combine 2 tablespoons of butter and the flour with a fork and stir into the stew. Add the frozen onions. Saute the mushrooms in 2 tablespoons of butter for 10 minutes until lightly browned and then add to the stew. Bring the stew to a boil on top of the stove, then lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Season to taste.
• To serve, toast the bread in the toaster or oven. Rub each slice on 1 side with a cut clove of garlic. For each serving, spoon the stew over a slice of bread and sprinkle with parsley.

BEEF BURGUNDY (BOEUF BOURGUIGNON) RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Slice the bacon into lardons (thin strips) and cook in a heavy bottomed skillet until crispy, on medium heat, to render the fat. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set on a paper towel. There is no need to thaw the frozen onions; simply empty the bag into a mesh strainer and rinse with lukewarm water for a few minutes. Allow to drain and pat them dry. You can certainly buy fresh pearl onions, but to remove the skins you will need to blanch and shock them in ice water to slip them off. I find that frozen is just as good! On medium heat, add the onion and cook in the bacon fat (this is building flavor), shaking the pan until they are translucent and lightly golden brown (about five minutes). Add the minced garlic and stir until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Remove the onion/garlic mixture into a bowl and set aside. Be sure to wipe any remaining garlic residue from the skillet (garlic burns and becomes bitter) and add a little drizzle of olive oil. On medium heat, cook the chopped carrot for 2 to 3 minutes, just until softened. Remove and set aside. For the meat: Be sure that the meat is completely dry. Otherwise, you won't be able to get a crusty, brown sear, and this is essential to building flavor! I place the cut-up meat in a large bowl, and add about 2 to 3 teaspoons of coarse salt, 1 to 2 teaspoons of freshly ground pepper and about 1 tablespoon of flour. Toss the meat until it is evenly coated with flour and seasoning. Turn the heavy skillet to medium high and add enough olive oil to lightly coat the bottom. Add the meat, being careful not to crowd it, and allow it to sear until golden brown (3 to 4 minutes). Lift one piece of meat, and if it doesn't stick to the pan, it's ready for all the pieces to be turned over. Sear on both sides and set aside. You will, most likely, need to do this in 2 to 3 batches. Add a little more olive oil, as is necessary to coat the pan. Your skillet should be coated with a build-up for brown (maybe almost black) "crud". This is a good thing. Let's build the braising liquid! Leaving the skillet on medium-high heat, add the tomato paste and quickly stir it around to cook-- about 30 seconds. Add the red wine, whisk and stirring and loosening up the crust from the bottom. Add the carrots and the bacon to the skillet. Allow this mixture to reduce about to about 2/3, stirring it often-- about 5 minutes. Add the beef broth, and Worcestershire sauce. Your can now cook this French stew in a pressure cooker, in a Dutch oven or a slow cooker. The technique is all the same, but the cooking time is very different. For the pressure cooker: Add the meat, then pour the braising liquid on top. Tie the fresh herbs with kitchen string and settle into the liquid. Pressure cook on high for 40 minutes. For a Dutch oven, set in the oven at 275°F for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. For a slow cooker, cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. (see why pressure cooking is so easy?) Meanwhile prepare the mushrooms: Clean the same skillet, and on medium heat, melt the butter and oil until bubbling. Add the cleaned and dry mushrooms and saute the mushrooms for about 5 minutes-- shaking the skillet intermittently until the mushrooms are lightly golden (about 7 minutes total). Remove from the skillet and set aside. Once the stew has finished cooking, it's time to add the onion and mushrooms. Release the pressure (if using a pressure cooker, obviously). Remove the herb bundle and bay leaf, then add the onions and mushrooms. Pressure cook for 5 minutes. If using a Dutch oven, allow to cook for about 10 minutes more. For a slow cooker, allow 15 to 20 minutes, depending on how hot the stew is. NOTE: If the sauce seems to thin for your liking (I like mine a bit thick) make a cornstarch slurry. I use about 2 Tablespoons cornstarch and whisk about 1/2 cup water until it is lump-free. Add in small amounts and wait a minute or so, until the sauce has thickened. Don't add the slurry all at once, or you might end up with concrete! If you do, thin with beef broth. Add a generous handful of fresh parsley and serve immediately. Traditionally, this dish is served with steamed potatoes. You can serve it with mashed potatoes or buttered noodles. I chose to make homemade egg noodles. This dish tastes even better the following day.

BOEUF BOURGUIGNON (BEEF BURGUNDY)

• Blanch bacon with 1 cup of water in a nonstick pan, to render and give off enough fat to fry with. Remove bacon into a bowl and set aside.
• In the same pan, throw the beef cubes in, few pieces at a time. Sauté until nicely brown on all sides using rendered fat from bacon and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Then remove browned beef from the pan into the bowl with bacon and set aside.

Then toss with salt, pepper and flour to coat lightly the meat. Cook till flour in meat turns brown with a light crust. Turn meat and vegetables once while cooking.
• When done, remove the meat and vegetables into a large casserole. Deglaze the pan with red wine, pouring it into the casserole along with the beef stock, almost to cover the meat and vegetables. Stir in the tomatoes and added the herb bouquet. Bring to a simmer and covered. Regulate heat so that liquid simmer very slowly for 4 hours or until the meat is tender and sauce has reduced. It is worth checking the meat every hour and if the level of liquid drops, gradually add half a cup each of the beef stock and red wine.

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and stir in 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet, add shallots and sauté over moderate heat, gently rolling them till brown evenly. Then add 1 cup of the stock left, salt and pepper and the same herb bouquet used in the stew. Cover and simmer slowly until the shallots are tender, and the liquid evaporates. Then remove the herb bouquet and set the shallots aside.
• In the same skillet, heat remaining oil and butter over high heat and add the mushrooms, tossing them till brown slightly. Then remove from heat. Set the mushrooms aside until needed.
• Pour the contents of the casserole into a sieve set over a saucepan. Simmer the sauce for 2 minutes in the saucepan, allowing the sauce to reduce gently, to give a rich finish to this dish. Season carefully with salt and pepper.
• Wash out the casserole and put back to heat and return the meat and vegetables. Pour sauce over the meat and vegetables into the casserole. Add in the shallots and mushrooms. Cover and simmer for another 2 minutes, gently basting the meat and vegetables with the sauce several times.
