How to Make Boeuf Bourguignon

red wine

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic wine

💰Cheaper: beef broth

Non-alcoholic wine maintains flavor without alcohol.

beef chuck

🥗Healthier: sirloin

💰Cheaper: round steak

Sirloin is leaner while round steak is more economical.

bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: smoked pork belly

Turkey bacon reduces fat while maintaining smokiness.

beef broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable broth

💰Cheaper: water with bouillon

Vegetable broth offers a lighter option.

Cut the bacon into pieces and brown it in a large pot.

Cut the chuck roast into 1 to 1.5 inch cubes, trimming excess fat.

Preheat the oven to 450°F.

Brown the beef in the pot after removing the bacon, searing it on all sides.

Remove the beef and set it aside, then add chopped onion and carrots to the pot to cook in the bacon grease.

Cook the onions and carrots for about 5 minutes until the onions are translucent.

Return the beef and bacon to the pot, mixing everything together.
