Season the beef with salt and pepper and cut into bite-sized pieces.

Place chopped bacon in a cold Dutch oven and render the fat until crispy.

Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon, leaving the fat in the Dutch oven.

Sear the beef pieces in batches in the bacon fat until browned, then remove.

Add onions and a knob of butter to the Dutch oven and sauté until softened.

Add mushrooms, season with salt and cayenne pepper, and mix well.

Add garlic cloves and mix again, cooking until mushrooms release water and deglaze the pan.

Pour in red wine and add a bouquet garni of thyme, rosemary, parsley, and bay leaves.

Add a beef stock pot and mix well.

Return the beef and resting juices to the pot, along with the bacon.

Add enough water to cover the beef and sprinkle in xanthan gum.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover, cooking for 1.5 hours on low heat.

Stir every half hour, cooking until the beef is tender and the sauce is reduced to your liking.

Remove the bouquet garni and finish with chives before serving.

Serve in a bowl with a generous portion and top with sour cream.
