BOEUF BOURGUIGNON

Here is a recipe for Boeuf Bourguignon

Ingredients : 1.5 kg [3.5 lbs] beef meet (silverside, chuck, neck...) / 100 gr [3.5 oz] lardoons / 2 onions / 2 carrots / 30 gr [1 oz] plain flour / 50 gr [2 oz] butter / 5 cl [2 fl oz] oil / 2 peeled and crushed garlic cloves / 1 1/2 bottle red wine (burgandy type) / 1 bouquet garni (parsley, thyme / bayleaves...) / salt & pepper.

- Prepare and cut the meat in regular pieces ; peel the carrots and onions and
cut the into thin slices.
- In a casserole, heat the butter and oil and brown the lardoons, the meat
pieces, then add
the carrots and the onions. When browned, spread with the flour and cover
with the wine.
Add the crushed garlic and the bouquet garni ; season with salt & pepper.
- Cover and simmer for 2 to 3 hours (this time will depend on the choice
of the meat and the size of the pieces ; prick the meat with a fork to test
if it is cooked enough).
- When cooked, if the sauce is too liquid, take the meat and herbs out, then reduce it for a few minutes.
Serve.
