Instructions
BEEF BOURGUIGNON
- Pat dry the beef cubes and season with salt and pepper
- Place them on a resting rack to cure at room temperature while you cut all the other vegetables.
- Heat up the Hexclad wok or Dutch oven on high heat and add cooking oil
- When nice and hot, sear the beef on each sides making sure to not overcrowd the pan. I would highly recommend to work in batches.
- Remove the cubes when seared and place them on a resting rack.
- Lower the heat of the pan and add the butter.
- When melted, add the pancetta lardons and pearl onions and caramelized (5-10 min)
- Remove them and let it rest. Discard 1/2 of the melted pancetta fat, keep it to cook eggs or other items.
- Add the carrot and beef back to the pot and cook it for 5 minutes or until the carrot is golden brown.
- Sprinkle the flour over the meat and cook for a couple minutes.
- Deglaze with red wine and stir.
- Place the lardons and bacon back in the fat.
- Add the beef stock, garlic and herbs and stir one more time.
- Cook for 2 hours covered on low heat.
- After a couple hours, add the mushrooms and cook for another 2 hours.
- Off the heat, mount with the chocolate.
- Let it rest for a minimum of 45 min. Reheat when ready to be served.
PLATING
- Place the pomme purée in each coupe plate and create a well. Ladle the Bourguignon in the centre of the well making sure we have a bit of every elements.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and enjoy!
- Bon appétit! 🙂
