GORDON RAMSAY'S SLOW-COOKED BEEF BOURGUIGNON

Steps:

• Heat a deep, cast iron Dutch oven and add the goose fat. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the beef and sauté until golden brown. It is best to do this step in a few batches to ensure proper browning of the meat. Transfer the sautéed beef to the plate and set aside.
• Fry the bacon, in the same Dutch pot, for a few minutes on medium heat until golden; add the shallots or pearl onions, garlic, mushrooms, and bouquet garni. Sauté until lightly golden. Add the tomato purée and cook for an additional few minutes. Add the beef back to the pot along with any meat juices.
• Pour the wine into the pot together with about 100 ml (1/2 cup) of water. Bring to the boil and scrape the bottom of the pot to release any caramelized bits that might stick to the pan.
• Preheat the oven to 150°C/300°F. Cover the pot with a piece of aluminum foil and cook in the oven for 3 hours until the meat is soft and the sauce is reduced and thickened. If the sauce is still watery, remove the beef and the vegetables, and cook uncovered for a few minutes to thicken the sauce, then put the beef and the vegetables back in the pot.
• Peel and cube the celery root. In a large frying pan, sauté the celery in olive oil for about 5 minutes, until golden. Add salt and pepper, rosemary, thyme, bay, and cardamom pods. Pour in 200 ml (3/4 cup) of water, then simmer for 25-30 minutes over low heat.
• Drain the water, and remove the rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, and cardamom pods. Smash with a potato masher, and mix with some olive oil and seasonings to taste.
• Divide the beef bourguignon between plates, top with a spoonful of celery root mash, and garnish with bay leaves.
