Beef Bourguinon
July 20, 2025
NOTES
I added a splash of balsamic vinegar during the searing of the beef to caramelize faster and bring out more pungent flavors.
INGREDIENTS
1kg Beef Flank or Sirloin
1.5L Merlot Wine
200g Pearl Onions
150g Carrots
1 1 bunch of thyme
10 sprigs of bayleaf
MIS EN PLACE
Julienne carrots
Slice beef into 1 inch cubes
Drain pearl onions and set aside
Mince garlic with fresh birds eye chilli
STEPS
In a large pan on high heat, sear beef cubes and ensure even seasoning with salt and pepper. 20 seconds before removal, add balsamic vinegar and remove all beef, set aside to rest.
In the same pan, reduce to low heat. Ensure heat is low, add minced chilli garlic, and sweat the pearl onions until clear.
Add carrots, and beef back to pan and increase to medium heat. Ensure all meat is covered, and season again with pepper.
Add thyme and bayleaf together with the wine and reduce to a simmer. Cook on low / simmer for 2 hours or until beef is tender.
Allow to rest for 30 minutes before serving. Season as required.
