Boeuf Bourguignon

Boyfriend decided to try something a little bit different for tonight's dinner. Boeuf Bourguignon. Only, we used whatever we had on hand. Nothing fancy.




Things we already have on hand: beef 2-3lbs, carrots, onions, red wine (cheapppppp), celery, salt, pepper, cornstarch, and cumin

1. sear meat in dutch oven in batches and season with salt, pepper, and cumin
2. brown onions until clear, salt a little
3. scrape all brown stuff and mix with 3/4 bottle of wine
4. return meat to pot, add carrots, celery.
5. add cornstarch + water to thicken -- stir constantly and scrape bottom of pan 
6. simmer for 3 hours or until meat is tender
7. add broccoli during last 20 minutes of cooking. 

We don't really measure. We just eye the amount or do a taste and trial. For the fancy version, see link above.

Plate over rice and top with shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream. It was pretty mouthwatering with the beef and veggies melting in your mouth. Soooooooooo gooooooooooooooood.
