Beef Bourguignon with Mashed Potatoes
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups red wine
- 2 cups beef broth
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 4 carrots, peeled and sliced
- 1 pound mushrooms, quartered
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 6 large potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss the beef cubes in the flour mixture until evenly coated.
- In a large Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes in batches and brown on all sides. Remove the beef and set aside.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the Dutch oven. Add the chopped bacon, onion, and garlic. Cook until the bacon is crisp and the onion is translucent.
- Return the beef to the Dutch oven. Pour in the red wine and beef broth. Stir in the tomato paste and dried thyme. Bring to a simmer, then cover and transfer to the preheated oven. Cook for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Add the carrots and mushrooms to the Dutch oven. Cover and cook for an additional 45 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
- While the beef bourguignon is cooking, place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
- Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or fork. Add the butter and milk, and continue mashing until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- To serve, spoon the beef bourguignon over the mashed potatoes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy!
