Classic Beef Bourguignon

Recipe by Chef Jean-Pierre

A hearty, slow‑cooked French classic made with beef chuck, bacon, carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, pearl onions and a rich red‑wine sauce. The recipe follows Chef Jean‑Pierre’s one‑pot method, using clarified butter for a high smoke point and a unique flour‑through‑a‑strainer technique for a silky thickened stew.

Critical Success Points

  • Render bacon on low heat to avoid burning
  • Do not overcrowd beef when browning
  • Deglaze with wine and reduce properly

  • Simmer low and slow for tender meat

Safety Warnings

  • Rendered bacon fat is hot – handle with care to avoid burns.
  • Alcoholic cognac can ignite if added to an open flame; add off‑heat.
  • Use oven mitts when handling the hot pot.
