    FOOD: Corrie: Boeuf Bourguignon from Gourmet French Essentials Cookbook

    “I think it’s the most perfect dish… And it was even better the day after”

    Boeuf Bourguignon

    SERVES 4 // PREP 25 MINS // COOK 2 HRS 25 MINS (PLUS MARINATING)

    One ingredient remains non-negotiable in the recipe for Burgundy braise: a bottle of the region's red wine.

    4 pieces beef oyster blade

    (240gm each trimmed weight)

    80 ml (⅓ cup) olive oil

    300 gm piece speck, rind

    removed, cut into lardons

    16 small pickling onions

    Seasoned plain flour, for dusting

    50 ml Cognac

    300ml veal stock

    4 0 gm butter, coarsely chopped

    300 gm tiny Swiss brown mushrooms

    Finely chopped parsley, crusty baguette and buttered steamed chat potatoes, to serve

    BURGUNDY MARINADE

    750 m l red Burgundy or other pinot noir

    6 thyme sprigs

    6 parsley stalks

    2 bay leaves

    2 garlic cloves, crushed

    1 For Burgundy marinade, combine ingredients in a large container and season with pepper. Add beef, turn to coat, then refrigerate overnight to marinate.

    2 Remove beef from marinade (reserve marinade). Pat beef dry with paper towel, then bring to room temperature (30-45 minutes).

    3 Preheat oven to 160°C. Heat half the oil in a casserole over medium heat, add speck and stir occasionally until golden (5-7 minutes). Remove from casserole and set aside. Reduce heat to low, add pickling onions and gently sauté until golden (15-17 minutes). Remove from casserole and set aside. Increase heat to high, then, working in batches, toss beef in seasoned flour, shaking off excess, add to pan and turn occasionally until well browned (5-6 minutes). Remove from pan, set aside and repeat with remaining beef. Reduce heat t o medium. Deglaze with Cognac, then carefully flambé until almost evaporated. Add stock, reserved marinade and beef, bring to a simmer, season to taste, cover and braise in oven for 45 minutes. Add speck and shallots and braise until shallots and beef are very tender (45 minutes).

    4 Meanwhile, heat butter and remaining oil i n a frying pan over medium-high heat, add mushrooms, stir occasionally until golden (3-4 minutes), then season to taste. Stir mushrooms through braised beef mixture. Return to oven and braise, covered, for 15 minutes.

    5 Divide Bourguignon among shallow bowls, scatter with parsley and serve with hot crusty baguette and buttered steamed potatoes on the side.
