Beef Bourguignon made with beef cubes, pearl onions and mushrooms in a Cognac, red wine brown gravy is comfort food at its best.

One Sunday, I woke up early and proceeded to the kitchen to make myself a cup of tea. I love those mornings when everyone else is sleeping and the house is extremely quiet and non-chaotic. You can actually sit and hear yourself think.

While the water was boiling, I looked over and saw my old recipe box and decided I'd tackle going through it to find recipes I haven't made yet. As I was sorting them out again, I came across a recipe for Beef Bourguignon that my Mom used to make when I was younger.

It was then that I realized I had never actually made it for my family so I went to the store to buy some beef cubes to make for our Sunday dinner.

How do you make Beef Bourguignon?

For this recipe you'll need beef cubes, butter, mushrooms, pearl onions, garlic, all purpose flour, Cognac, red wine, beef broth, tomato paste, ground thyme and a bay leaf.

Start by heating the butter over medium high heat in a Dutch oven or an oven safe pot. Season the beef with salt and pepper; then add to the pot and cook until brown on all sides.

Next, add the mushrooms, onions and garlic and saute until the mushrooms start to soften; approximately 1-2 minutes.

Add the flour and mix to coat the beef; then add the cognac, wine, beef broth, tomato past, thyme and bay leaf. Mix well; then cover the Dutch oven with a lid, place in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 2 ½ hours; stirring every hour.

Carefully remove the pot from the oven with mitts (pot and lid will be hot!) and serve over egg noodles. I first shared this recipe back in 2011, but the photo wasn't the greatest so it sat in my draft posts for years!

I'm so glad I made this Beef Bourguignon recipe again recently and did make a few tweaks to the original so that it was even easier to make. It's one of those meals that take a long time to make, so it's perfect for those Sunday dinners.

I was sorry I didn't make more though because it was gone before I could even freeze any leftovers! ~Enjoy!
