Julia Child’s Daube de Boeuf or Stew of Beef

November 30, 2017 By marketeditor

Adapted from Julia Child’s recipe for Daube de Boeuf featured on www.juliasrecipes.com

Ingredients:

*Ingredients currently available at the farmers’ market

  • Cinnamon: one 3-inch stick
  • Orange zest: 2 stripes (each stripe should be 1.5-inch wide and 2.5 inch long)
  • Spring fresh thyme*: 2
  • Bay leaf: 2 (dried)
  • Black peppercorns: 1 teaspoon
  • Sprigs fresh parsley*: 4
  • Whole cloves: 3
  • Stalk celery: 2 (medium sized, cut into half inch slices crosswise and reserve the top leaves)
  • Onions*: 3 (thinly sliced)
  • Garlic*: 3 cloves (crushed and chopped)
  • Carrots*: 3 medium-sized (peel them and cut them into half inch slices crosswise)
  • Beef*: 3 lbs (cut into one-and-half-inch cubes)
  • Lean bacon slices*: 8 ounces (chopped into one-inch lengths)
  • Red wine*: 1 bottle full-bodied
  • Cognac:  1/4 cup
  • Extra virgin olive oil: 1/4 cup
  • All-purpose flour: 1/3 cup
  • Beef stock: 3/4 cup
  • Nicoise olives: 3/4 cup
  • Tomato paste: 2 tablespoons
  • Salt: 1 teaspoon
  • Chopped fresh parsley*: 1/4 cup
  • Basmati rice: 1 1/2 cup

Directions:

Put the orange zest, cinnamon stick, thyme, bay leaf, peppercorns, cloves, celery leaves and parsley onto a layer of cheesecloth and tie it up in order to make a bouquet garni. Put it aside.

Get a big, non-reactive dish and put celery, garlic, beef, onions, carrots, bouquet garni, and bacon into it, all at once. Pour the cognac and wine over the mixture. Put the mixture in refrigerator for marinating for about 24 hours.

Preheat your oven accurately to 325 F. Get the beef out of vegetables, and put it on a kitchen towel for draining. Get a skillet and put oil into it. Heat the oil on medium heat. Put the beef into the pan along with some flour. Cook it until it turns brown. Remove the beef and deglaze the skillet with tomato paste and beef stock. Scrap all the browned bits of beef from the pan’s bottom.

Mix the pan sauce, salt, olives, beef, and vegetables-wine mixture together in an ovenproof dish. Cover it. Next, you need to braise the beef for 2 to 3 hours, until it is tender. If you want your stew to be thicker, check after 2 hours of cooking and remove the lid for the rest of the time.

Prepare the rice according to the direction given on package. Garnish your stew with cooked rice and parsley.

Serve and enjoy!
