INGREDIENTS:
Olive Oil
Thick Slab Bacon
2x 3 Bone Short Ribs
Cremini Mushrooms
Peel Pearl Onions
Orange Carrots
1 Cup Red Wine
½ Cup Brandy
Beef Stock
2 Tbsp Tomato Paste
Fresh Parsley
Fresh Thyme
Fresh Sage
1 Bay Leaf
MASHED POTATOES INGREDIENTS
Yukon Gold Potatoes
¼ lb Unsalted Butter
Salt
COOKING METHOD:
1. Start by removing the meat from the bone and cutting it into chunks.
2. In a large dutch oven, heat olive oil over high heat and brown each piece of meat on all sides. Season with a pinch of salt. Once browned on all sides, remove from the pot and place to the side, and season with fresh cracked pepper.
3. Cut the slab bacon into chunks and fry until browned. Once browned, remove and place to the side.
4. To a large pot over medium-high heat, add enough olive oil to coat the bottom and tomato paste. Stir together and cook together for a couple of minutes.
5. Carefully add in the brandy letting the alcohol burn off before adding in the red wine.
6. Add the beef and pork back to the brandy/wine mixture. Add enough beef stock to cover the meat along with a bay leaf. Stir to incorporate.
7. Add the pot of beef to a 350F preheated oven for 1 hour.
8. For the mashed potatoes, boil some water in a large pot. Peel and halve the potatoes before adding them to the boiling water with a heavy pinch of salt. Once fork tender, drain the potatoes. Mash together and season with salt. Add in butter and vigorously mash together until a fluffy consistency is reached.
9. Once removed from the oven, add in cremini mushrooms, peeled pearled onions, peeled and chopped carrots, and a tied bundle of fresh thyme, sage, and parsley. Mix together and place back into the oven for 30 minutes or until the vegetables are tinder.
PLATING:
1. Place a big scoop of mashed potatoes on a plate along with a couple of ladles of the beef bourguignon.

My Grandma’s (Secret) Beef Bourguignon FULL Recipe
—---------------------------------------------------
#1 thing to do, watch the video a second time. You will pick things you did not see the first time.
You can cook this the day before, chill it rapidly using for example your sink filled with ice cold water, and then refrigerate (if you eat the next day) or freeze in manageable quantities (for later)
—-----------------
INGREDIENTS
—-----------------
1.5 to 2kg low cuts of Beef : Shin and Chuck.
Can’t find this ? Go for something meaty and something gelatinous.
1 bottle of wine, 75cl. Ideally something robust.
1.5 liter of organic beef broth / beef stock
2 medium sized carrots.
2 medium sized onions
400 g thick-cut bacon cut into small pieces
400 g button mushrooms. Smaller are more suited.
20-30 pearl onions (about 300g)
2 tsp sugar
Seasoning to taste.
1 tbsp AP flour or 1 tbsp cornstarch, diluted in half a glass of cold water.
(if you want it creamier and a little thicker you can use 2 tbsp)
Tomato puree : 2 tsp.
Bunch of herbs :
4 sprigs of Thyme
2-3 Bay leaves
1 Green part of leek
1 Celery stalk
5 garlic cloves
—-----------
Marination
—-----------
cut meat into 2-3 inch pieces. They shrink a bit during cooking.
Add onions, carrots and the meat to a big container.
Drop the wine. All of it. Keep a glass for yourself, you deserve it.
Let this marinate in the fridge for 1 hour. I did it at room temperature because my studio is pretty cold.
THE STEW
—------------
Strain the meat, pat it dry, Season with kosher salt
Sear the meat in oil until nicely coloured on both sides.
Discard the oil.
Sprinkle with a heaped tbsp of flour. Thickener.
Cook for a minute, stirring. Then drop the wine and the stock.
2 tsp of tomato purée for umami and colour.
Flambé safely : Don’t put your head over it, don’t do it under the kitchen hood, keep your distances.
Bring to a boil, skim the scum regularly.
Two cooking options :
#1 the oven :
2 hours at 200°C or 400°F then a little check, then again 2 hours at 200°C
#2 the stove :
Low heat, 4 hours the first three with a lid.
In both cases, the meat should be super soft and tender. If not, keep cooking.
—------------
Garnishes :
—------------
Cook all three garnishes during the last hour of the stew.
Place all peeled pearl onions in a pan.
Add a knob of butter, 2 tsp sugar , water till they are halfway covered
Top with a lid or with a piece of parchment paper, with a hole in the center.
About 10-15 minutes will cook and caramelise them.
When the water is gone, they should be ready (prick with a knife to see if it's soft).
If not, add water and continue. If yes, Set aside
Cut bacon into sticks ; 1inch long1/4inch wide (lardons),
Fry them on medium heat until caramelisation appears.
Remove fat (keep for cooking your next omelet)
Set aside.
Cut mushrooms into quarters, halves or leave whole if they are small.
Place them in a pan covered with a bit of beef stock.
5 minutes is all they need.
----------
Finish
—----
Add ¾ of the garnishes to the stew, one piece of dark chocolate and cook together for 30 minutes. Top plates with a little more garnishes and some fresh thyme.
Sauce should be glossy. If not you can always drop in a few knobs of cold butter off the heat, and swirl around until melted.
Piece of bread on the side and MOP AWAY !

Brian Lagerstrom's beef bourguignon recipe that inspired me on this one:
***RECIPE, SERVES EIGHT***
5 pounds thick-cut beef chuck roast (or 4 pounds boneless short ribs)
1 pound carrots
2-3 celery stalks
1 14 oz (400g) bag of frozen peeled pearl onions
5-6 garlic cloves
1/2 oz (14g, two standard packets) unflavored gelatin
red wine (I used about half a bottle)
stock or water (about as much as the wine)
Worcestershire or soy sauce or fish sauce or some such (and/or a couple stock cubes)
tomato paste (buy the stuff in a tube, if you can)
balsamic vinegar
flour (I used about half a cup, 60g)
fresh herbs for garnish (I used the leaves from the celery)
salt
pepper
oil
For the mash...
1 whole head of garlic
5 pounds potatoes (I like a mixture of floury and waxy)
butter (I used a whole pound / 454g, but you could use far less)
milk
salt
pepper
Take a deep roasting pan (at least 9x13 in / 23-33 cm), put it in the oven, and turn on the broiler/grill. While the pan heats up, trim as much of the large, white bands of inter-muscular fat out of the chuck as possible. (No need to trim anything if using boneless short ribs.) Cut the meat into very large chunks, keeping in mind they'll shrink more than half while cooking. Season the meat generously with salt & pepper, and toss it in a thin coating of oil.
Take the hot roasting pan out of the oven and dump in the meat, trying to spread it all into a single layer across the bottom. Put the pan back under the broiler and let the meat brown for about 10 minutes — watch it carefully to make sure nothing burns. Pull the pan out and stir in enough flour to generously coat the meat (I used about half a cup / 60g). Put the pan back under the broiler and let the flour brown for a few minutes. Lay a squeeze or two or tomato paste on top and let that brown for a minute.
Turn off the broiler, take the pan back out, pour in enough wine to come 1/3 of the way up the meat. Pour in enough stock or water so that the liquid comes 2/3 of the way up the meat. Throw in a big glug of Worcestershire or soy sauce or some such, and maybe a couple stock cubes if you used plain water (really not necessary, though). Stir everything up, cover the pan tightly with foil and cook in the oven at 275ºF/135ºC until the meat is almost as soft as you want it, which took me four hours.
For the roasted garlic mash, trim the tips off of all the cloves on a head of garlic, coat it in oil, wrap it in foil and put it in the oven with the meat. At such a low temperature, it should take hours to go soft and golden, so put it in soon after you get the meat going.
While you're waiting you can peel the carrots (or not) and cut them and the celery into large bite-size chunks, and crush and peel 5-6 garlic cloves.
When the beef is almost as fork-tender as you want it, put the carrots, celery and frozen onions in the pan. Get them spread into an even layer and try to get them stirred in with the beef and sauce, but don't stir so hard that you break the beef apart. It's fine if the veg is kinda sitting on top for now. Re-cover the pan with foil, put it back in the oven and cook until the vegetables are as tender as you want them, 1-2 hours.
While you wait, you can peel your potatoes for the mash (I peel floury baking potatoes for mash but I leave the skins of waxy potatoes on), cut them into big chunks and boil them until you can very easily pierce them with a fork, about 20 minutes. Drain out the water, and combine the potatoes in the still-hot pot with the butter, a bunch of pepper, a little splash of milk to start with, and a big pinch of salt to start with. Take the roasted garlic bulb and squeeze its golden guts into the potatoes. Mash or whip the potatoes until they're as smooth as you want them and then taste. Add more salt if needed, and stir in enough additional milk to get you the texture you want, keeping in mind it will stiffen as it cools to eating temperature. Cover and keep warm on a low burner until dinner.
Empty the gelatin packets into a little cup or bowl and stir in just enough cold water to get it dissolved — it'll thicken up (bloom) rapidly.
Take the roasting pan out of the oven when the vegetables are as soft as you want them. Taste the sauce and add more salt and pepper if needed (it should taste a little too salty on its own). I like to add a glug of balsamic vinegar at this point. Drop the bloomed gelatin into the pan in dollops. Use a spatula to gently fold all the ingredients together without breaking up the soft beef chunks. It's ok if the sauce isn't totally homogenous yet.
Put the pan back in the oven uncovered, turn on the broiler and brown the top, which took me 10 minutes. Serve the stew over mash, spoon over extra sauce and garnish with herbs.
