Gluten-Free French Boeuf Bourguignon

Ingredients:

2 pounds beef chuck roast, cut into 2-inch cubes
2 tablespoons gluten-free all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons gluten-free olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
2 cups gluten-free red wine (such as Burgundy or Pinot Noir)
2 cups gluten-free beef broth
2 sprigs fresh thyme (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions:

In a large bowl, toss the beef cubes with the gluten-free all-purpose flour until they are well coated.

In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the gluten-free olive oil over medium-high heat.

Add the floured beef cubes and brown them on all sides, working in batches if necessary. Remove the browned beef and set it aside.

In the same pot, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they become fragrant and the onion turns translucent.

Add the sliced carrots to the pot and sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Return the browned beef to the pot. Pour in the gluten-free red wine and gluten-free beef broth.

Add the fresh thyme sprigs (or dried thyme), and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Cover the pot and let the Boeuf Bourguignon simmer over low heat for about 2-3 hours, or until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened. Stir occasionally.

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Serve your gluten-free Boeuf Bourguignon hot, traditionally over mashed potatoes or with gluten-free crusty bread. Enjoy this classic French comfort dish!
