Wagyu Shank Boeuf Bourguignon Recipes

BOEUF BOURGUIGNON

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add onions; cook and stir until tender, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Cook and stir beef in the same skillet until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Sprinkle flour, marjoram, thyme, and pepper over beef. Pour red wine and beef broth into the skillet; stir well. Reduce heat to low and simmer until beef is tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Stir onions into the skillet. Add mushrooms. Cook, stirring, until mushrooms are tender and sauce is thick and dark brown, about 30 minutes.

SLOW COOKER BEEF BOURGUIGNON

Steps:

• Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef stew meat and cook until browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Brown beef in batches if necessary, making sure to not overcrowd the pan, otherwise the beef won't brown. Remove browned beef from the skillet and place in the slow cooker.
• Add onion to the skillet. Cook and stir until softened and beginning to take some color, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer onion to the slow cooker.
• Place skillet back on medium-high heat and pour in half of the wine. Bring the wine to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Remove from heat and carefully pour into the slow cooker along with the remaining wine. Add carrots, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and pepper.
• Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on Low for 6 to 8 hours.

WAGYU SHANK BOEUF BOURGUIGNON

Steps:

• PREPARING THE BEEF BOURGUIGNON: Preheat the oven to 325°F. Prepare your bouquet garni by tying your parsley, thyme, and bay leaves together with twine. Set it aside for later use. In a large Dutch oven, cook the bacon and 1 tablespoon of grapeseed oil over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until crispy. Set aside. Season the Fullblood Wagyu beef shanks with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Increase the heat to medium high, and add enough grapeseed oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Once the pan is warm, add the Fullblood Wagyu beef shanks, and sear on both sides until caramelized (about 4-5 minutes on each side). Once the beef is browned on both sides, deglaze the pan with the medium-bodied red wine. Add the diced yellow onions, diced carrots, diced celery, and tomato paste. Let the red wine reduce down, scraping up the bits on the bottom, and cooking the vegetables. Once the red wine is reduced by half, add the minced garlic, peeled pearl onions, mushrooms, crispy bacon, beef stock, bouquet garni, 1 1/2 tablespoons of kosher salt, and 2 teaspoons of freshly ground black pepper. Bring to a boil, cover, and place it in the preheated oven for 4 hours.
• FINAL STEPS: Remove the pan from the oven. Remove the bones from the Fullblood Wagyu beef shanks, and discard the bones. Set the Fullblood Wagyu beef aside in a dish. Remove the bouquet garni from the pan, and discard. Strain the cooking liquid through a strainer. Add the vegetables in the side dish with the Fullblood Wagyu beef shanks. Place the strained cooking liquid back into the Dutch oven, and bring it to a boil. In the meantime, mix the softened butter and flour to make a paste. Once the cooking liquid has reached a boil, whisk in the butter/flour paste. This is your sauce. Season the sauce with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed. Return the Fullblood Wagyu beef and vegetables into the sauce, and coat them. Serve the bouef bourguignon with potatoes, rice, or pasta. Enjoy!
