Now, let’s talk ingredients, y’all. You’re gonna want the following items:

  • 2 lbs beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 medium carrots, sliced
  • 2 cups of mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup red wine (your favorite blend)
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Now that we’ve got our ingredients ready, it’s time to get cookin’!

  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the stew meat in batches, browning it on all sides. Once browned, remove the meat and set aside.
  3. In the same pot, throw in the onions and garlic. Sauté until onions are translucent and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  4. Next, add the carrots and mushrooms. Cook for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.
  5. Stir in the tomato paste, mixing it well with the veggies, then pour in the red wine. Bring to a simmer and scrape up any brown bits stuck to the bottom of the pot.
  6. Return the beef to the pot and add the beef broth, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring it back to a boil, then reduce the heat to low.
  7. Cover and let it simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the flavors have melded together beautifully.
  8. Once done, remove the bay leaf and taste to adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with chopped parsley if you’re feelin’ fancy.

And there you have it—your very own Beef Burgundy Stew, ready to be devoured! Serve this up with some crusty bread or over a bed of fluffy mashed potatoes, and get ready for compliments all around. Enjoy, and happy cooking!
