1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 garlic cloves, mashed (you may choose to add more)
1 sprig thyme (or 1/2 teaspoon dred thyme)
1 bay leaf, preferably fresh
For the braised onions
18 -24 white pearl onions, peeled
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup beef stock
salt & fresh ground pepper
1 bay leaf
1 sprig thyme
2 sprigs parsley
For the Sauteed Mushrooms
1 lb mushroom, quartered
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
Directions:
First prepare the bacon: cut off the rind and reserve.
Cut the bacon into lardons about 1/4" thick and 1 1/2" long.
Simmer the rind and the lardons for ten minutes in 1 1/2 quarts of water.
Drain and dry the lardons and rind and reserve.
Pre-heat the oven to 450F.
Put the tablespoon of olive oil in a large (9" - 10" wide, 3" deep) fireproof casserole and warm over
moderate heat.
Saute the lardons for 2 to 3 minutes to brown lightly.
Remove to a side dish with a slotted spoon.
Dry off the pieces of beef and saute them, a few at a time in the hot oil/bacon fat until nicely
browned on all sides.
Once browned, remove to the side plate with the bacon.
In the same oil/fat, saute the onion and the carrot until softened.
Pour off the fat and return the lardons and the beef to the casserole with the carrots and onion.
Toss the contents of the casserole with the salt and pepper and sprinkle with the flour.
Set the uncovered casserole in the oven for four minutes.
Toss the contents of the casserole again and return to the hot oven for 4 more minutes.
Now, lower the heat to 325F and remove the casserole from the oven.
Add the wine and enough stock so that the meat is barely covered.

Add the tomato paste, garlic and herbs and the bacon rind.
Bring to a simmer on the top of the stove.
Cover and place in the oven, adjusting the heat so that the liquid simmers very slowly for three to
four hours.
The meat is done when a fork pierces it easily.
While the meat is cooking, prepare the onions and mushrooms and set them aside till needed.
For the onion, if using frozen, make sure they are defrosted and drained.
Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet and add the onions to the skillet.
Saute over medium heat for about ten minutes, rolling the onions about so they brown as evenly as
possible, without breaking apart.
Pour in the stock, season to taste, add the herbs, and cover.
Simmer over low heat for about 40 to 50 minutes until the onions are perfectly tender but retain
their shape and the liquid has mostly evaporated.
Remove the herbs and set the onions aside.
For the mushrooms, heat the butter and oil over high heat in a large skillet.
As soon as the foam begins to subside add the mushrooms and toss and shake the pan for about
five minutes.
As soon as they have browned lightly, remove from heat.
To Finish the Stew:.
When the meat is tender, remover the casserole from the oven and empty its contents into a sieve
set over a saucepan.
Wash out the casserole and return the beef and bacon to it (discarding the bits of carrot and onion
and herbs which remain in the sieve).
Distribute the mushrooms and onions over the meat.
Skim the fat off the sauce and simmer it for a minute or two, skimming off any additional fat which
rises to the surface.
You should be left with about 2 1/2 cups of sauce thick enough to coat a spoon lightly.
If the sauce is too thick, add a few tablespoons of stock.
If the sauce is too thin, boil it down to reduce to the right consistency.
Taste for seasoning.
Pour the sauce over the meat and vegetables.
If you are serving immediately, place the covered casserole over medium low heat and simmer 2 to
3 minutes.
Serve in the casserole or on a warm platter surrounded by noodles, potatoes or rice and garnished
with fresh parsley.
If serving later or the next day, allow the casserole to cool and place cold, covered casserole in the
refrigerator.
20 minutes prior to serving, place over medium low heat and simmer very slowly for ten minutes,
occasionally basting the meat and vegetables with the sauce.

I watched the film Julie and Julia and was intrigued. I was dying
to see what the fuss was all about and although i detest
mushrooms i decided to be brave and give it a try. Yes it took
all day to cook but for a mushroom hater likemyself it was to die
for. The beef melted in your mouth and the sauce. YUM!!!!
My family loved it and i felt so posh giving them 'Beef
Bourguignon' for their Sunday dinner.
Bon Appetit People!!!

I've been a Julia fan for many many years but until today, I'd
never tried this recipe. Forced retirement can have a fun and
interesting side. I have lots of time to cook labor intensive
recipes now.
I thought the recipe was delicious and even more than I
expected. I enjoyed every minute/hour of the process. I felt a
kindred spirit with Julia as I got into this all day adventure. And
that's what it was for me, an adventure in real cooking, not just
meal preparation.
I would make this again, and again. I believe I'd do it even for
just myself because I so enjoyed the experience.

My sister made this a few days ago and told me I NEEDED to
make it. (I think she used a recipe off Oprah's website - same
thing, right?) I may make a couple of procedural changes next
time I make it, as I found the meat to be a tad underseasoned
(easily remedied by salting before hand). And I think I'm going to
make my own beef stock next time, as I think that will improve
the flavor, as well. I used a Merlot as the wine, left the onion
slices and carrots in because I was too lazy to pick them out. I

also used already cut stew meat to save time. Don't think I'll do
that again, either, as I don't think it has as much flavor as a
whole roast you cut yourself. The mushrooms and pearl onions
were sublime, and I loved the smoky undertones from the
bacon. I will be looking forward to the next time I make this, in
order to follow the recipe more closely and taste the differences.
