Instructions

  1. 1

    Marinate the beef in the red wine with garlic and bouquet garni overnight, or at least 4 hours. Remove beef and pat completely dry — wet beef won't brown. Reserve the marinade.

  2. 2

    Cook the lardons in a large Dutch oven over medium heat until the fat renders and they turn golden, about 6 minutes. Remove and set aside. In the rendered fat over high heat, sear the beef in batches without crowding for 3–4 minutes per side until deeply browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    In the same pot over medium heat, cook carrots for 4 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook 2 minutes. Sprinkle flour over and cook 1 minute. Pour in the reserved marinade and bring to a boil, scraping up all browned bits.

  4. 4

    Return beef and lardons to the pot. Add broth and bouquet garni. Liquid should barely cover the meat. Bring to a simmer, cover, and braise at 325°F for 2–2½ hours until the beef is fork-tender.

  5. 5

    In a skillet, sauté pearl onions in 1 tablespoon butter until golden, then sauté mushrooms in remaining butter over high heat until golden brown. Add both to the finished stew. Discard bouquet garni, adjust seasoning, and serve over mashed potatoes or egg noodles with fresh parsley.
