Lyonnaise-style Beef Bourguignon

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 onions, sliced
  • 4 carrots, sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 bottle (750ml) red wine, such as Pinot Noir or Burgundy
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, toss the beef cubes with the flour until evenly coated.
  2. In a Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set aside, leaving the drippings in the pot.
  3. Working in batches, brown the beef cubes in the bacon drippings. Transfer the browned beef to a plate and set aside.
  4. Add the olive oil to the pot and sauté the onions, carrots, and garlic until softened.
  5. Return the beef and bacon to the pot. Pour in the red wine and beef broth. Stir in the tomato paste, bay leaves, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 2-3 hours, or until the beef is tender.
  7. Discard the bay leaves and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve the beef bourguignon hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
