Steps:
- A day or two ahead, cut the meat into large 5cm chunks. Put in a glass bowl with the garlic, star anise, thyme, bay and plenty of seasoning. Mix everything together well.
- Pour the wine into a large saucepan (keep the lid to hand and turn off any extractor fans). Bring to a boil, then, at arms-length, ignite with a long match. Wait for the flames to burn off (there will be quite a few), then boil for 5 mins more. If you don't feel comfortable setting the flames alight, just boil the wine. Pour the wine over the meat, then cover and cool slightly before chilling overnight or for up to 36 hrs.
- Lift the beef out of the marinade and dry on kitchen paper. Heat half the oil in a large casserole. Working in batches, brown the beef for 10 mins, adding more oil if needed (watch out - this will splutter). Once browned, transfer the beef chunks to a plate.
- Heat oven to 150C/130C fan/gas 3. Add a touch more oil to the dish, then tip in the veg and gently brown for 10 mins. Use a wooden spatula to scrape any sticky bits off the bottom. Scatter over the flour and cook for 2 mins, then stir in the tomato purée. Add the meat and any juices from the plate back in, then pour over the marinade with all the aromatics. Bring everything to a simmer and give it a good stir, then cover and place in the oven for 3½-4 hrs, stirring every hour or so until the meat is very tender. You now have a delicious rustic stew that can be served as is, but keep going to take it to the next level.
- Leave the stew to cool, then carefully tip into a sieve or colander set over a bowl. Lift the meat and carrots back into the casserole, then squish everything else in the sieve so that you extract the juices and some of the garlic gets squished through. Simmer this sauce in a pan for 10 mins or until thickened to your liking, then pour over the meat.
- While the meat is braising, heat the rest of the oil in a frying pan. Fry the bacon and onions for 15 mins until the bacon is crisp and the onions have softened and browned. Turn the heat up, add the mushrooms and fry until cooked. Tip the contents of the frying pan into the casserole, stir and simmer for a few mins. Scatter over the parsley, then bring the dish to the table and serve with the carb of your choice.

HOW TO MAKE NEXT LEVEL BEEF BOURGUIGNON | BBC GOOD FOOD
From bbcgoodfood.com
Estimated Reading Time 4 mins
- Choose the right cut. Choosing the right cut of beef will make a massive difference. You're after a hard-working muscle that has good marbling. Ox or beef cheek (the same thing, different name) is ideal as it holds its shape when braised and makes the sauce gelatinous.
- Make it chunky. It’s more attractive and authentic to serve one or two larger pieces of beef then lots of scrappy smaller bits. For the beef to hold its integrity, hand-cut it into large 5cm chunks (you want about two pieces per portion) and avoid pre-cut stewing beef that will disintegrate into the sauce.
- The wine. We’ve made our recipe all wine and no stock as the braise makes its own stock while it cooks. Classic Burgundy wines are expensive and too good to cook with, so use a cheaper pinot noir which is made from the same grape used in Burgundy.
- Steeping. By boiling and flaming the wine you burn off the raw alcohol flavour and by steeping the beef in the hot wine, it allows the wine to penetrate the meat.
- Star anise. We’ve borrowed from Chinese braising and added star anise which has properties that helps intensify the meatiness of the dish. It’s there to be infused and is unpleasant bitten into so try and fish it out before serving.
- Sweet garlic. When garlic is slow-cooked it becomes mild and soft. We’ve used it to help thicken and flavour the finished sauce. When you strain the sauce, really push hard on the braised garlic bulb to release and purée the whole cloves through the sieve and into the sauce.
- Kept-in carrots. Often discarded, we think stewed carrots are a thing of beauty so we’ve kept them chunky and invited them to the party. Pick them out when you strain the sauce and set them aside to go into the finished dish.
- Reduce to refine. By boiling down the sauce you get to specify the consistency and flavour, leaving nothing to chance. You can scoop off any froth that forms leaving you with a more refined sauce.
- Finishing touch. The final flourish of bacon chunks, baby onions and mushrooms is what turns a red wine stew into a bourguignon. We’ve stayed true to the classic but without them you still have a delicious braise of beef and carrots.
- Better with time. The whole thing can be made up to three days ahead, chilled and reheated and the flavours will become more full-bodied. It can also be frozen for up to 6 months.
