Is there anything more comforting than a warming bowl of rich beef bourguignon? Michael Caines pairs his with creamy dauphinoise and French-style green beans. Bourguignon makes a great alternative to a Sunday roast, or a great dinner party idea if you want to impress your guests. If you’re short of time, serve with M&S potato gratin dauphinoise instead.

Method

step 1
Heat the oil (3 tbsp) in a large hob proof casserole dish until hot. Season the beef (1200 g) with salt and freshly ground black pepper and brown on all sides, in batches, so you don’t overcrowd the pan. Remove and set aside.
step 2
Add the lardons (300 g) to the same pan and sauté over a medium heat until golden. Add the shallots (150 g), season and sauté for 5 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms (200 g) and garlic (2 cloves) and sauté for 3 minutes.
step 3
Sprinkle in the flour (3 tbsp) and whisk for 2 minutes before slowly pouring in the red wine (400 ml). Simmer to reduce by half, then add the stock (500 ml), carrots (200 g) and bouquet garni (1). Cover with the lid and cook for 1 hour over a low heat until the meat is tender to a fork. Check the seasoning and sprinkle in the chopped parsley (25 g).
step 4
Meanwhile, for the gratin dauphinoise: Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan. Rub the base and sides of a 20cm x 30cm ovenproof serving dish (or individual dishes) with a garlic clove. Grease the dish with the butter (20 g).
step 5
Put the cream (300 g), milk (300 ml), remaining cloves of garlic (3 cloves), thyme (1 tbsp), bay leaf (1), the white pepper (1 tsp) and 1 tsp salt in a large pan and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and leave to stand for 10 minutes.
step 6
Layer the potatoes (9) in the dish, covering with the cream mixture and seasoning every couple of layers. Top with a neat, uniformed layer of slices, the cheese (50 g) and a final pour of the cream mixture. Cover the dish/dishes in foil and bake in the oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for 20 minutes until golden and bubbling. Leave to stand for a few minutes then, using a cutter, take out a portion and serve on a side plate.
step 7
For the beans: Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Add the beans (300 g) and blanch for 2-3 minutes. Drain and place in the iced water (as needed) to refresh and keep their colour.
step 8
When ready to serve, melt the butter (20 g) in a medium frying pan, add the garlic (1 clove), and cook over a low heat. Stir in the beans to heat through. Season and sprinkle with parsley (15 g).
step 9
Serve the beef bourguignon in a bowl, garnished with parsley and small plates of gratin dauphinoise and French beans on the side.
