A classic and rich Burgundy Beef Stew, featuring tender beef braised in red wine with aromatic vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs beef stew meat, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and thickly sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, thickly sliced
  • 4 oz sliced mushrooms
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 1/2 cups dry red wine (like Burgundy, Pinot Noir, or Cabernet Sauvignon)
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (for dredging meat)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Pat beef stew meat dry with paper towels. Dredge the beef cubes in flour seasoned with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in batches until seared on all sides. Remove beef and set aside.
  3. Add chopped onion, carrots, and celery to the pot. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook for another 3-5 minutes until tender.
  4. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Return beef to the pot. Stir in diced tomatoes, red wine, beef broth, bay leaf, tomato paste, and dried thyme. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2-3 hours, or until beef is very tender. Alternatively, transfer to a preheated 325°F (160°C) oven and bake for 2-3 hours.
  7. Remove bay leaf. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. If the stew is too thin, you can thicken it by simmering uncovered for a bit longer or by stirring in a cornstarch slurry.
  8. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, use a good quality dry red wine.
  • Ensure the beef is well-dredged in flour for a richer, thicker stew.
  • Adjust simmering time based on the tenderness of the beef.
