Step 1

Wash and cut the carrots and onions into pieces

Step 2

After blanching the bacon in boiling water, drain and cut into small slices

Step 3

Cut the beef into 5 cm pieces, be sure to dry the water from the beef (this step is important), sprinkle with salt and black pepper and marinate

Step 4

Add a little oil to the casserole (preferably a Dutch dutch oven) Put the cut bacon in it and fry the oil inside until golden brown

Step 5

Using the oil of the bacon, fry the cut beef piece by piece on each side until golden brown

Step 6

Fry all the beef and put it all out, be careful not to put too much beef in the pot at one time, and do not have water in the beef, otherwise there is no way to fry it until golden brown

Step 7

Use domestic oil Never pour out the oil or wash the pan The essence is all in it Use domestic oil to stir-fry carrots and onions

Step 8

Then pour the fried beef back into the pan

Step 9

Sprinkle flour on the beef Try to coat the surface of the beef with a layer of flour

Step 10

Preheat the oven to 220 degrees Celsius Put the whole pot in and bake for 4 minutes and then take it out Turn the beef down and bake for another four minutes Note: It stands to reason that the casserole cannot be baked in the oven because it only bakes for a few minutes here, so I try to bake it directly in the casserole If you have a dutch oven that can be put in the oven, it is best to use that pot

Step 11

Then pour two large glasses of beef broth and red wine into the pot, the soup should cover the beef, and then turn on high heat until it boils

Step 12

Add thyme leaves (if you don’t have it or don’t like the taste) and bay leaves

Step 13

Add tomato paste to the pot After boiling, turn off the heat to the minimum and simmer for 2.5 hours with the lid on the lid If you have a dutch oven, preheat the oven to 160 degrees Celsius and bake for 2.5-3 hours

Step 14

When the time is almost up, cut the mushrooms and put them in a pan, add oil, salt and black pepper and stir-fry until cooked

Step 15

Stir-fry the small onions in the same way

Step 16

Put the mushrooms and small onions in the pan and cook for about 5 minutes

Step 17

The beef stew in French red wine is ready! You can add a little salt and black pepper as needed before serving, if the alcohol is too strong and a little bitter, you can add a little sugar Goulash and pasta Mashed potatoes and rice are a special match!

Step 18

I used pasta this time, you can try other things, although the steps are a bit complicated, but the taste is really good, it is a good dish for entertaining guests!
