directions

  • In a large enameled Dutch oven, heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add the bacon and saute over medium heat for 5 minutes. Add the sliced onion and cook, stirring, until wilted, 3 minutes. Finally, add the garlic, cook 1 minute longer, and remove from the heat.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over high heat until the foam subside. Add half the meat and saute until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer the browned meat to the Dutch oven and saute the second batch.
  • In the same skillet, saute the pearl onions and mushrooms until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Set aside.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the meat in the Dutch oven and season with salt and pepper. Stir the meat and flour with a wooden spoon over low heat for 1 minute. Add the wine, Cognac, and bouquet garni. Bring to a simmer, stirring frequently. Do not boil; even the briefest boiling would result in leathery and tough meat. Simmer the stew, covered, over very low heat until the meat is very tender, 2 hours; skim the fat and foam from the surface occasionally.
  • Add the mushrooms and pearl onions and simmer for another 30 minutes. The meat and vegetables should be very tender. Remove the bouquet garni. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve.

  1. Oh, my goodness. This was so delicious and it made the entire house smell so homey and inviting while it stewed away on my stove. I made it exactly as written without making any adjustments to the listed ingredients. And it was positively delectable. The bacon gave it a savory touch while the beef and vegetables simmered in the wine base until fork tender. I will definitely make this again. Thank you for sharing your recipe, Papa D. Made for Zaar World Tour #6.

I have enjoyed cooking for as long as I can remember. Thanks to everyone that has tried and reviewed my recipes :>) My review guidelines are as follows: 5 stars - Wonderful ! Perfect as posted and plan to make this recipe again! 4 stars - Liked it a lot and will make again but will probably alter the recipe slightly. 3 stars - OK but to make it again would require major changes to the original recipe to suit my tastes. 2 stars - Really didn't like it. Could be personal preference or the recipe just didn't meet expectations. <embed src="http://www.clocklink.com/clocks/8008-orange.swf?TimeZone=GMT0800&" width="150" height="150" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"> <a href="http://photobucket.com/meez" target="_blank"><img src="http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z195/dlowe52s/mz_0410_10021355399.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"></a> <embed src="http://static.travbuddy.com/flash/countries_map.swf?id=4529632" quality="high" bgcolor="#372060" width="400" height="213" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> Adopted by: <a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/member/280271">TeresaS's</a> With <a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/286209">Lumpia (In Spring Roll Wrappers)</a> Recipe#341002 <a href="http://www.recipezaar.com/291762">Smoked Ribs on the Grill</a> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> Adopted by: Chef #194886 With:Recipe #317515 Recipe #317753 Recipe #250644 <img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e110/flower753/Food/my3chefsnov2008.jpg"> My themes, Asian and breakfast.
