Ingredients
- 60 ml (4 tbsp) butter
- 60 ml (1/4 cup) all-purpose flour
- 30 ml (2 tbsp) vegetable oil
- 600 g (1 1/4 lb) diced stewing beef
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 500 ml (2 cups) large mushrooms, cut into quarters
- 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
- 15 ml (1 tbsp) garlic, minced
- 250 ml (1 cup) white wine
- 600 ml (2 1/2 cups) veal stock
- A few sprigs of fresh thyme or 5 ml (1 tsp) dried thyme
- 1 large bay leaf
- 125 ml (1/2 cup) 35% cooking cream
- 30 ml (2 tbsp) parsley, chopped
Preparation
- Melt half of the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the flour slowly to make a roux. Set aside.
- In a frying pan, heat half of the oil with 15 ml (1 tbsp) of butter over high heat.
- Sear the diced beef. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove from the heat and set aside.
- In the same pan, sauté the mushrooms. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, in an enamelled cast-iron pot, heat the rest of the butter and oil over medium-high heat.
- Sweat the onions for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
- Pour in the white wine and reduce to 3/4.
- Add the veal stock, thyme and bay leaf.
- Add the meat and cover.
- Turn down the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 1 1/4 hours.
- Remove from the heat. With a baster, take almost all of the cooking liquid and transfer it into another saucepan.
- Bring the liquid to a boil over medium heat.
- Thicken the sauce by adding the roux gradually while whisking it in. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Remove from the heat. Pass the sauce through a fine sieve above the pot and put it back on the heat.

- Continue to cook for 15 minutes.
