boeuf bourguignon (French cuisine)
In 2009, the food film "Julie and Julia" recreated the scene of Julia Childe cooking red wine stewed beef. The warm camera made this French cuisine deeply rooted in people's hearts, making countless people yearn for it.
The traditional Burgundy red wine stewed beef recipe uses Charolais beef (B œ Uf de Charles, one of the best beef quality in France. If cooking at home, you can use regular beef, choose shoulder blades or beef tendrils, and the stewed beef will be more tender, smooth, and flavorful. As the name suggests, this dish uses Burgundy red wine, which produces a rich and tough red wine that is perfect for stewing meat.
In traditional recipes, beef needs to be soaked in Burgundy red wine for more than 12 hours. Cut the beef into large pieces and put it into a container. Add two cloves of garlic, bouquet garni (containing fresh thyme, clove, scallion leaves, etc., or dry bouquet), a few cloves, onion slices, and carrot slices, and pour into a bottle of red wine. After 12 hours of pickling, the beef is soaked in the flavor of spices and red wine, and the stewing effect is better. If it's a bit time-consuming, you can skip this step like Julia's recipe
Adjust the oven to 160-180 degrees according to its size and preheat for about 15 minutes; Remove and drain the marinated beef, discard garlic and cloves, and set aside onions, carrots, and spice bundles for later use; Pour in a little olive oil (vegetable oil) from another pot, fry the beef until both sides are brown, add pickled onions and carrots, stir fry for a moment, sprinkle a little flour and salt (as the French style radish will be added later, if you prefer a lighter version, you can choose to add a little salt according to your taste 15 minutes before cooking) and freshly ground black pepper, mix well, and pour into a cast iron enamel pot (other stewing pots are acceptable); Place the pot in the oven and bake for about 5-10 minutes, allowing the beef and vegetables to fully blend and color. Bake until fragrant and remove (this step can be omitted).
Stir fry 100-150 carats of French smoked or salted pork belly (bacon can be used instead) until the oil turns brown and then pour into a pot; Add a bouquet of spices, two cloves of garlic, pour in red wine and 500-600 milliliters of beef broth placed aside, and add a spoonful of tomato paste (concentrated tomato paste); Place the pot in a preheated oven and bake for about 2-3 hours (the longer the low-temperature roasting time, the more delicious the beef becomes). Slowly simmer (do not let the soup boil) to lock in the water. Red wine will slowly evaporate during the stewing process and blend into the bottom of the soup.
You can prepare side dishes one hour in advance, usually with pearl onions, small carrots, potatoes, and agaricus bisporus. There are two cooking methods for side dishes, or put the side dishes in the pot half an hour in advance and simmer slowly in red wine soup to create a rich flavor; Alternatively, you can prepare side dishes separately: you can steam (boil) your favorite vegetables and serve them on a plate with red wine soup; Or, after cooking the vegetables, add olive oil (butter), fry until golden brown and charred, and season according to your preference;
