Beef Bourguignon
Here is a recipe for a hearty French-style beef stew!

Sent in by Jay Iacone, Fairfax County Fire Department

Ingredients:

2-3 lb chuck roast, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 medium onions, chopped
2 shallots, chopped
1 lb carrots, peeled and shredded
12 mushrooms, sliced
2-3 cups chicken stock
2-3 cups red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon)
1/3 cup fresh minced parsley
4 bay leaves
2/3 cup corn starch + water ( or wine)
Salt and pepper
Directions:

In a heavy stockpot, brown the beef in its own fat. Layer onions, carrots and mushrooms over the beef and allow vegetables to cook until just tender.

Add 1-2 cups of chicken broth and wine (enough to cover beef and vegetables) and reduce heat until mixture is barely simmering. Allow to cook for 2-3 hours or until beef is very tender. Add more wine and broth as required.

Immediately before serving, thicken the sauce with mixture of cornstarch and water.

Serve over egg noodles or rice with a hearty spinach salad and French bread.

Serves 6 adults or 4 firefighters.
