Title: Authentic Beef Bourguignon Recipe
Description: Discover the exquisite taste of this authentic Beef Bourguignon recipe, featuring succulent boneless beef chuck and an array of aromatic vegetables, all simmered to perfection in a robust red wine sauce.
Ingredients:
– 1 (3-pound) boneless beef chuck roast
– 25 8 ounces pearl onions
– 2 dried bay leaves
– 1 medium carrot
– 8 oz cremini mushrooms
– 3 cloves garlic
– 1 mashed potatoes
– Fresh parsley leaves
– 5 sprigs fresh thyme
– 1 large yellow onion
– 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
– 1 tbsp tomato paste
– 1 egg noodles
– 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
– 3/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
– 3 tsp kosher salt
– Crusty bread
– 3 tbsp unsalted butter
– 1 (750-milliliter) bottle dry red wine
Instructions:
1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Cut the boneless beef chuck roast into chunks and pat dry with paper towels. Peel the pearl onions and carrots. Slice the cremini mushrooms. Mince the garlic cloves. Prepare mashed potatoes if desired. Tie the parsley and thyme together with kitchen twine.
2. Brown the Meat: In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, brown the beef chunks in batches until deeply browned on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.
3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pot, add the pearl onions, sliced carrots, and cremini mushrooms. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
4. Deglaze and Simmer: Return the beef to the pot. Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and stir to coat evenly. Add the tomato paste, bay leaves, parsley-thyme bundle, beef broth, red wine, black pepper, and kosher salt. Bring to a simmer, then cover and transfer to the preheated oven. Cook for 3 hours, or until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.
5. Cook the Noodles: Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
6. Serve: Remove the Beef Bourguignon from the oven. Discard the parsley-thyme bundle and bay leaves. Serve the Beef Bourguignon hot over mashed potatoes or cooked egg noodles, garnished with fresh parsley leaves. Serve with crusty bread on the side for dipping in the flavorful sauce.
