Description
This Low-Carb Beef Bourguignon with Cauliflower Mash is a keto-friendly adaptation of the classic French stew, featuring tender beef in a rich red wine sauce served over creamy cauliflower mash.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs beef chuck
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 slices bacon
- 1 large onion
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tsp fresh thyme
- 2 bay leaves
- 8 oz mushrooms
- 2 medium carrots
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped bacon and cook until crisp. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon, leaving the fat in the pan.
- Increase heat to medium-high. Season the beef chunks with salt and pepper, then sear them in the bacon fat in batches. Remove the beef and set aside once browned.
- Add the diced onion to the same pan and cook until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- Pour in the beef broth and red wine, scraping up any browned bits. Stir in the tomato paste, thyme, and bay leaves.
- Return the beef and bacon to the pan. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
- Add mushrooms and carrots to the stew, cover, and cook for another 30 minutes until vegetables are tender and beef is falling apart.
- While the stew cooks, steam cauliflower florets until very tender, about 7-10 minutes.
- Transfer steamed cauliflower to a food processor. Add butter, heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Process until smooth and creamy.
- Once the stew is finished, remove bay leaves and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Serve beef bourguignon over cauliflower mash and enjoy!
