Ingredients

• 2 pounds beef chuck, cut into 2-inch cubes
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 750 milliliters red wine (such as Pinot Noir)
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 2 units bay leaves
• 12 units pearl onions, peeled
• 8 ounces mushrooms, quartered

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).

Step 2

Season the beef cubes with salt and pepper. In a large Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding and sear until browned on all sides, removing and setting aside each batch when done.

Step 4

In the same pot, add another tablespoon of olive oil if needed and sauté the sliced onion and carrots for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes soft and translucent.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and tomato paste to the pot, stirring for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the red wine, scraping the bottom of the pot to deglaze, then bring to a simmer and allow the wine to reduce slightly for about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Return the beef to the pot along with the beef broth, thyme, and bay leaves. Stir well to combine.

Step 8

Cover the pot with a lid and transfer it to the preheated oven. Let it cook for 2 hours.

Step 9

After 2 hours, add the pearl onions and mushrooms to the pot. Stir to combine, and continue cooking for an additional 1 hour until the beef is tender.

Step 10

Remove the pot from the oven, discard the bay leaves, and season with more salt and pepper to taste before serving.

Step 11

Serve over dairy-free mashed potatoes or your favorite base. Enjoy your classic Boeuf Bourguignon with a dairy-free touch!
