Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large oven-safe pot, cook the bacon until crispy, then remove and set aside.
- In the bacon fat, brown the beef cubes in batches. Remove and set aside.
- Add onions, carrots, and garlic to the pot, sautéing until softened.
Cooking
- Stir in tomato paste, thyme, and season with salt and pepper.
- Add the beef back to the pot, then pour in red wine and beef broth.
- Add bay leaf and mushrooms.
- Bring to a boil, then cover and transfer to the oven.
- Cook for about 2 hours or until beef is tender.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Serve over creamy mashed potatoes for added comfort. Pair with a crusty baguette to soak up the delicious sauce. Enjoy alongside a fresh green salad for a balanced meal. A glass of the same red wine used in cooking elevates the experience.
