:::ingredients

• 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 1 bottle (750 ml) red wine (preferably Burgundy)
• 2 cups beef stock
• 1/4 cup brandy
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 ounces bacon, diced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 carrots, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 bouquet garni (thyme, bay leaf, parsley)
• 8 ounces pearl onions, peeled
• 8 ounces mushrooms, quartered
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley for garnish :::

:::instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C).
2. In a large Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Optionally add a small bit of water while cooking to ensure a better crisp. Remove and set aside, leaving the fat in the pot.
3. Season the beef with salt and pepper, then dust with flour. In the same pot, brown the beef in batches until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.
4. Add the onion and carrots to the pot, cooking until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
5. Return the beef and bacon to the pot. Add the red wine, beef stock, and brandy. Add the bouquet garni and bring to a simmer.
6. Cover the pot and transfer to the oven. Cook for 2 to 3 hours, or until the beef is tender.
7. In the last 30 minutes of cooking, add the pearl onions and mushrooms.
8. Once cooked, remove from the oven, discard the bouquet garni, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
9. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley. Serve with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes for a hearty meal. :::
