Print Recipe

A comforting classic French stew with beef, red wine, and aromatic vegetables, perfect for cozy gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups red wine (preferably Burgundy)
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 cups mushrooms, quartered
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the beef by seasoning it generously with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat, add the beef in batches, and sear until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
  2. Sauté the onions and carrots in the same pot for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Add the red wine to deglaze the pot, letting it simmer for 3-5 minutes before returning the beef.
  4. Stir in the beef broth, tomato paste, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer.
  5. Let the Bourguignon simmer for 90 to 120 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  6. Add the mushrooms about 30 minutes before cooking time ends.
  7. Taste and adjust seasonings before serving.

Notes

Serve with creamy mashed potatoes or crusty bread. This dish also tastes better the next day!
