Boeuf Bourguignon

So I really wanted to share the Boeuf Bourguignon I made for us the other day.  I love food, and especially old time recipes that aren't rushed!  Here it is below:
 
  • about 2 pounds Stew Beef
  • 2  onion, sliced
  • Salt and pepper
  • 2 parts red wine
  • 1 part beef stock
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • about 3 1/2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • about 1 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • about 1 pound fresh carrots
  • celary hearts chopped
  •  
     
    Preheat oven to 350 degree.
     
    Marinate beef in red wine in the fridge for at least 3 hours, overnight is better.
     
    Heat butter and olive oil in dutch oven until almost smoking. Dry beef in paper towels; it will not brown if it is damp!
     
     
    Add beef to hot pot, a few pieces at a time, and sauté until nicely browned on all sides.
     
     
    Remove beef with slotted spoon.  Add onions to pot and cook till transluscent.
     
    Return the beef  to the pot along with all of the other vegetables.
     
     
    Stir in wine and beef stock, just enough so that the meat is barely covered. Add the garlic and salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer on top of the stove. Cover pot and set in lower third of oven. Let it simmer for 3 to 4 hours. The meat is done when a fork pierces it easily.
     
     
     
    Serve over noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes! I like it over egg noodles.
     
     
    BON APPETIT!
