Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Wash the meat and dry it well with a paper towel.
Step 2
Cut the meat into large pieces (4x4 cm cubes). Cut the bacon into strips (1 cm wide). Slice the onion into half-rings (not too thin). Cut the carrot into strips. Wash the celery, chop it, wash the parsley, and peel the garlic.
Step 3
Make a bouquet garni: take cheesecloth, fold it in several layers, place the celery, parsley, garlic, dried thyme, and bay leaf in the center. Fold the edges of the cheesecloth to resemble a pouch. Tie it with string.
Step 4
Melt half of the butter in a heavy-bottomed pot. Fry the bacon until golden brown. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Step 5
In the remaining butter, brown each piece of beef on all sides, adding a few pieces at a time so they are not crowded.
Step 6
Once all the meat is browned, melt the remaining butter and sauté the onion until soft.
Step 7
Add the carrot, bacon, and meat to the pot with the onion. Add a teaspoon of salt and pepper. Mix well. Place the bouquet garni on top, cover with a lid, and let simmer on low heat for thirty minutes.
Step 8
After the specified time, remove the bouquet garni and pieces of meat from the pot.
Step 9
Increase the heat, add the flour to the pot. Stir over heat for one minute. Add the tomato paste, mix well, then gradually pour in the wine. Stirring, bring the sauce to a boil, then return the meat and bouquet garni to the pot.
Step 10
Simmer on low heat with the lid on, stirring occasionally, for two hours and thirty minutes.
