Gimme Steak Bourguignon with sunchoke puree, oven fried Brussels sprouts

Directions

Bourguignon (serves four). NOTE: meat needs to marinated in advance of cooking.

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees
  2. Remove meat from the marinade and pat dry.
  3. In a large pan over high heat, sear the meat in the grape seed oil.  You need to get a very deep brown color.
  4. Remove meat from the pan and scrape away the fond that has developed.
  5. In the same pan, cook the bacon, onions, oyster mushrooms and carrots.  When they begin to brown, add the garlic and cook until aromatic.
  6. Add the tomato paste and allow to caramelize slightly.
  7. Add the beef back into the pan, deglaze with red wine and reduce until thickened.
  8. Add the stock which should come to just the top of the meat and not cover the meat.  Adjust amount as needed.  Add porcini, thyme and bay leaf.
  9. Braise covered in the oven for at least 3-4 hours or until the meat is very tender
  10. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper and Just Cook Foods Gimme Steak blend.
  11. If you like a more thickened sauce, remove beef from stew and reduce on stove top until desired consistency.
