Ingredients:

1 Kg shin of beef
1 bottle red wine
1 large onion roughly chopped
1 large carrot roughly chopped
2 sticks celery roughly chopped
3 sprigs of thyme
2 bay leaves
1 garlic bulb cut in half
bacon or pancetta
10 shallots
3 tblsp plain flour
1/2 pint beef stock (OXO is fine)
200g mushrooms
brandy

You will need a casserole dish that is hob and oven safe.

Trim the fat from the beef and cube into 1 1/2 inch chunks. Put in a bowl and cover with half the wine. Place in a fridge to marinade for at least half an hour.
Sautee the onion, carrot and celery in a little olive oil, then add the thyme, bay leaves and garlic. Pour over the rest of the wine. Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
In a separate frying pan, heat some butter and olive oil. Add the bacon and cook till golden. Add the shallots and fry for a further 5 minutes. Add to the casserole dish.
Drain the beef from the wine marinade with a sieve, but keep the marinade. Place the beef on some kitchen paper or a towel and gently pat dry. Then brown the meat in the frying pan with a little oil and butter. Fry it in small batches to allow it room or it will not brown. Add to the casserole dish.
Sprinkle the flour over.
Add the leftover wine marinade.
Add the beef stock to just cover the meat and vegetables.
Cover and cook in the pre-heated oven at 150deg for 2 hours.
2 hours later, fry the mushrooms in a little butter and olive oil. When they are nearly done, add a splash of brandy then transfer to the dish.
Cook for a further 1 hour.

Serve with parsley, potatoes and wine. The dish tastes even better if made the day before and left overnight in the fridge.

The wine is the marinade.

Love this video! Simple and straight to the point, no need for talking... everyone seems to talk too much in other videos. Everyone seems to try to glamour it up... because Julia Child made it and that movie? Sheesh! No need for the fufu... this video sums this up as simple and tastes fantastic! Natural and pure with lots of sweetness from the shallots and onions, heavenly taste! One thing though... where is the salt? Also, what is the music's name?

@teat Umm, please don't slam on something that you do not know of or have tasted his recipe. Unfortunately you are blinded to someone else's style of cooking... which is fine. Julia Child is a brand name... sorta like Martha Stewart. They both are not regarded to be the End All of any recipes out there. Besides Julia Child is an American doing French cooking. Plz remember: a recipe is a happy accident that has been documented so that we may repeat the results. Manskil's recipe is simple & good.

Very nice. Marinating the beef is a good idea. I use red wine in my stew to give it a delicious flavor and rich color. Hope you'll take a look sometime. Boeuf Bourguignon is a great dish that tastes even better as left overs the next day. Thanks for a great video!

Hey what about the 3 tablespoons of butter mixed with the 3tblespoons of flour to make the paste that goes into it after you put the meat back in the pot ??????
