One Pot Beef Bourguignon

A cozy and rich Beef Bourguignon recipe, perfect for family dinners and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs beef chuck, cut into chunks
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups carrots, sliced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups red wine
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Start by browning the beef: Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef chunks in a single layer and season with salt and pepper. Sear for about 4-5 minutes until browned, then turn to brown all sides. Remove and set aside.
  2. Sauté the aromatics: In the same pot, reduce heat to medium and add the diced onions. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until translucent, then add minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Cook for another 5-7 minutes.
  3. Introduce the carrots: Add the sliced carrots to the pot and stir well, allowing them to soften for about 5 minutes.
  4. Bring in the beef and wine: Return the browned beef to the pot with any accumulated juices. Pour in the red wine and stir to deglaze the pot.
  5. Add broth and seasonings: Pour in the beef broth, add tomato paste, thyme, and bay leaf. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer.
  6. Cook low and slow: Cover the pot, reduce heat to low, and simmer for about 120-150 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  7. Finish and serve: Once the beef is tender, taste the sauce and adjust seasoning. Optionally, remove the lid for the last 30 minutes to thicken the sauce.

Notes

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve with crusty bread or potato puree.
