Delicious Beef Bourguignon Recipe: Perfect for Your Next Dinner Party

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs beef chuck roast, cut into 2-inch pieces
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
• 1/2 lb bacon, chopped
• 2 cups red wine
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tsp dried thyme
• 1 lb mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tbsp butter
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. In a large Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon and set it aside, leaving the bacon grease in the pot.
3. Season the beef with salt and pepper, then sear it in the bacon grease until browned on all sides.
4. Remove the beef and set it aside. Add the onions, garlic, and carrots to the pot and cook until the onions are translucent.
5. Add the tomato paste and thyme, and cook for another minute.
6. Pour in the red wine and beef broth, and add the beef and bacon back into the pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
7. Cover the pot and transfer it to the oven. Bake for 2-3 hours, or until the beef is tender.
8. While the beef is cooking, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until they are browned and tender.
9. Once the beef is cooked, remove it from the oven and stir in the mushrooms. Serve hot, garnished with fresh thyme if desired.
