Boeuf Bourguignon recipe
Ingredients -
Streaky Bacon 6-oz
Lean Stewing Steak 3 Ibs cut into 2-in. cubes
Sliced Carrot x1
Sliced Onion x1
Flour 1 oz.
Young Red Wine or Chianti 1 1/4 pts.
Brown Beef or Beef Bouillon 3/4 to 1 pt.
Tomato Paste 1 tbl
Garlic Cloves Mashed x2
Thyme 1/2 tbs Bay Leaf, Crumbled
The Blanched Bacon Rind
Recipe -
Remove rind and cut bacon in to lardons. Simmer rind and bacon for 10 minutes in 2 1/2 pints of water. Drain and dry.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F, mark 8.
Sauté the bacon in the oil over moderate heat for 2 to 3 minutes to brown lightly. Remove to a side dish with a slotted spoon. Leave casserole aside. Reheat until fat is almost smoking before you sauté the beef.
Dry the beef; it will not brown if it is damp. Sauté it, a few pieces at a time, in the hot oil and bacon fat until nicely browned on all sides. Add it to the bacon.
In the same fat, brown the sliced vegetables. Pour out the sautéing fat.
Return the beef and bacon to the casserole and toss with 1 tsp of salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. Then sprinkle on the flour and toss again to coat the beef lightly with the flour. Place casserole uncovered in middle position of preheated oven for 4 minutes. Toss the meat and return to oven for 4 minutes more. (This browns the flour and covers the meat with a light crust.) Remove casserole, and turn oven down to 325 degrees F, Mark 2.
Stir in the wine, and enough stock or bouillon so that the meat is barely covered. Add the tomato paste, herbs, and bacon rind. Bring to simmering point on top of the stove. Then cover the casserole and place in lower part of preheated oven. Regulate heat so that liquid simmers very slowly for 3 to 4 hours. The meat is done when a fork pierces it easily.
While the beef is cooking. prepare the onions and mushrooms. Leave them aside until needed.
When the meat is tender, pour the contents of the casserole into a sieve placed over a saucepan. Wash out the casserole and return the beef and bacon to it. Distribute the cooked onions and mushrooms over the meat.
Skim fat off the sauce. Simmer sauce for a minute or two, skimming off additional fat as it rises. You should have about 1 pint of sauce thick enough to coat a spoon lightly. If too thin, boil it down rapidly. If too thick, mix in a few tablespoons of stock or bouillon. Taste carefully for seasoning. Pour the sauce over the meat and vegetables. Recipe may be completed in advance to this point.
