A delicious version of the famous French recipe of beef cooked in Burgundy wine from my friend, Arlette whom I met in the Philippines.
Ingredients:
- 1kg beef, cubed
- 1 bottle of Bourgogne wine
- 2 onions, finely chopped
- 4 carrots, sliced
- 40g butter
- 1 T tomato paste
- 1 bouquet garni
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 250g mushrooms, sliced
- Lardons or bacon to taste
- 1 T olive oil
- black pepper
Method:
Heat 20g of butter with 1 T oil, and fry the onions and lardons.
Remove onions and lardons, and replace with the meat. Add more oil if necessary.
Once the meat is roughly cooked on all sides, add the onions and lardons again.
Add pepper, wine, carrots, garlic and bouquet garni.
Cover and cook for 2 hours.
Add the mushrooms and tomato paste, and cook for a further 15 minutes.
