"Boeuf Bourguignon is the classic French stew from Burgundy, in which tender beef cubes are slowly cooked in dry red wine with golden bacon, carrots, and fine herbs. It is worth preparing for the sensory richness and the velvety texture of the traditional sauce."

Beef Bourguignon: The Taste of French Tradition

O Que Você Precisa Saber

- Fry the bacon until golden and use the fat in the pan to sear the meat cubes in sequential portions. - Boil the red wine for 5 minutes with the pot open to evaporate the alcohol before covering and lowering the heat. - Keep heat very low for about 2 hours so meat collagen dissolves into a luscious sauce.

Chef Tips

- Choose a full-bodied dry red wine, such as Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, or Merlot, to enrich the aroma. - Pat the meat cubes dry with paper towels before placing them in the pan to ensure a golden, even sear. - If the sauce is thin at the end of the 2 hours, uncover and cook for another 10 minutes to reduce and thicken.

Variations

- Bourguignon with mushrooms and pearl onions: brown fresh button mushrooms and mini onions in butter and add at the end. - Pressure cooker version: cook in a pressure cooker for 45 minutes after the whistle over low heat to shorten the time. - Bourguignon with a touch of dark chocolate: add 20g of 70% cocoa chocolate to the sauce to deepen the shine and color.

Substitutions

- Chuck or shoulder: replace with beef chuck, bottom round, or beef brisket cut into 3 cm medium cubes. - Dry red wine: use whole grape juice without sugar mixed with a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar for a non-alcoholic version. - Diced bacon: can be swapped for fresh cubed pancetta or artisanal smoked bacon.

How to Store

Store the stew in the refrigerator in a closed container for up to 4 days. Traditionally in France, the dish is considered even better reheated the next day, when the wine penetrates the meat.

Can You Freeze It?

Can be frozen for up to 90 days in a suitable container with an airtight lid. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator for 12 hours and bring to low heat until the sauce bubbles gently.

What to Serve With

Serve traditionally over rustic buttery mashed potatoes, fresh tagliatelle in butter or steamed potatoes. Thick-crust baguette-style French bread for dipping in the sauce is indispensable.
