This classic French braise simmers beef chuck in red wine with bacon, pearl onions, and mushrooms until the sauce turns silky and deeply flavorful. It takes time in the oven but very little hands-on effort, making it a special-occasion dish that is genuinely achievable at home.

  • Deep, wine-rich sauce built in stages for maximum flavor
  • Fork-tender beef that practically melts after a long slow braise
  • A classic French dish that is easier to execute than it sounds
  • 6 oz bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 3 lb beef chuck, cut into 2 inch cubes
  • +14 more ingredients
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs
  1. Preheat the oven to 325F. In a large Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium heat for 6 to 8 minutes until crisp and the fat has rendered, then remove with a slotted spoon to a plate, leaving the fat in the pot.

Continue simmering until the sauce reduces and coats the back of a spoon.

Rest the dish for five minutes before serving with your favorite side.
