Callebaut-Cabernet Sauvignon Beef Bourguignon

The concentrated, complex flavors of Cabernet Sauvignon provide a good match with chocolate. Chef Arthur Kelly Jr. has incorporated cocoa as a savory flavoring in a Finger Lakes take on the traditional French dish.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 6 to 8

Ingredients

3 pounds choice top round, cubed
1/2 bottle (375 ml) Glenora Cabernet Sauvignon
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 pound mushrooms, quartered
1 large yellow onion, cut in medium dice
1/4 cup tomato paste
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 (10.5-ounce) can beef stock

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Marinate the beef in half of the Cabernet Sauvignon for at least 1 hour, or overnight, if possible.

    Step 2

    Combine the flour with the salt and pepper in a mixing bowl and coat the marinated beef cubes in the mixture. Remove the coated beef cubes by hand. Reserve the unused flour mixture. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the beef cubes and sauté until brown, about 4 minutes. Add the remaining flour and stir until there are no lumps. Add the remaining wine and all of the remaining ingredients to the pan and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming in the sauce. Simmer for 10 minutes. Decrease the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 1 to 2 hours or until the sauce reaches a medium consistency, stirring occasionally. Spoon into bowls and serve hot with some crusty bread.
