Instructions to make Boeuf Bourguignon (Beef Burgundy Stew)
- Season beef with 2 teaspoons salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Set aside for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or chill in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

- In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot with a tightfitting lid, cook bacon/pancetta over medium-low heat until fat is rendered and lardons are browned and crisp, about 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve fat in pot.



- Raise heat under pot to medium-high and cook until fat is starting to smoke. Lay half the beef cubes in a single layer in the pot. Cook until well browned on all sides, 10 to 15 minutes; transfer pieces to a plate as they brown. Repeat with remaining beef.



- Heat oven to 300F.

- Reduce heat, if necessary, to prevent burning. Stir in onion, carrot and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and cook until soft, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.


- Stir in garlic, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce, and cook for 1 minute. Stir in flour, cook for 1 minute, then add wine, bay leaf and thyme, scraping up brown bits at bottom of pot. Bring to a boil.



- Add browned beef and half the cooked lardons back to pot, cover, and transfer to oven. Let cook until beef is very tender, about 3 hours, turning meat halfway through. Ideally, cool and refrigerate until the next day. If not, procede to step 7.


- On the next day remove some of the hardened fat on top, if desired. Mix.



- In a medium skillet heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat and sauté the mushrooms for 5 to 10 minutes. Add to the stew.



- In the same skillet set over medium heat, combine pearl onions, remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, sugar, a pinch each of salt and pepper, and enough chicken stock or water to just cover the onions. Bring to a simmer and cook. The onions should be left with a nice shine to them. Set aside.



- Heat up beef stew. To serve, scatter onions and remaining cooked lardons over stew, then top with parsley. Accompany with mashed potatoes.
