Bœuf à la Mode

Bœuf à la Mode is a classic French dish that translates to 'beef in fashion. ' It is a slow-cooked beef stew originating from France that features tender chunks of beef, vegetables, and a rich broth. The dish is typically made with tougher cuts of beef, such as oxtail or beef shank, that are slow-cooked in a mixture of broth and red wine. The resulting stew is rich, flavorful, and tender, making it a popular dish in many parts of the world. Bœuf à la Mode is often served with crusty bread or over mashed potatoes, and it can be made in large batches, making it a great option for special occasions or family gatherings.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the beef from the pot and set it aside.
2
Add the onion, carrots, and celery to the pot and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
3
Add the red wine to the pot and cook until the liquid has reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Add the beef broth, tomato paste, thyme, and bay leaves to the pot. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a boil.
4
Return the beef to the pot and make sure it is covered with the broth. Cover the pot and transfer it to the oven. Cook the stew for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the beef is tender and falls apart easily.
5
Remove the pot from the oven and let it cool slightly. Remove the beef from the pot and slice it against the grain. Serve the beef with the broth and vegetables. Garnish with fresh thyme and a sprinkle of parsley.
