INGREDIENTS

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
  • 7 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup brandy
  • 2 cups Burgundy wine
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 6 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 large onion, cut into 12 wedges
  • 4 carrots, cut into 2 inch pieces
  • 4 stalks celery, cut into 2 inch pieces
  • 1 1/2 pounds red potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 1/2 pound fresh mushrooms
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg

DIRECTIONS

  1. Place flour in large bowl, and season with salt and pepper. Dredge beef in flour to coat.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a heavy Dutch oven over high heat. Working in batches, saute beef until brown on all sides, about 5 minutes per batch.
  3. Return all meat to pot, and add brandy; boil until almost evaporated, about 2 minutes. Add wine, broth, thyme, garlic, bay leaves and oregano. Cover, and simmer until beef is almost tender, about 1 hour.
  4. Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onions until brown. Using slotted spoon, transfer onion to large bowl. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in same skillet, add carrots and celery, and saute until golden. Transfer to bowl with onions. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in same skillet, add potatoes, and saute until brown on all sides. Transfer to bowl with other vegetables. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in same skillet, add mushrooms, and saute until brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to bowl.
  5. Transfer vegetables to pot with beef, and stir in nutmeg. Cover pot and simmer 45 minutes. Uncover pot, and boil liquid until thickened to sauce consistency, about 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Too much like beef stew with the potatoes and carrots in the dish. Not a classic beef and burgundy dish.

The only problem I have with this recipe is the name. It made me believe it would have a richer more interesting taste but it ended up tasting exactly like a typical beef stew. Many stew recipes are much simpler and yield a very similar result.

The beef was so tender. The whole house smelled invitingly delicious. The sauce was eagerly sopped up with French bread. Everyone is looking forward to another batch.
