I’ve taken the traditional Burgundy Beef and went a little upscale while reducing the amount of time to prepare this wonderful meal. The recipe is set to provide one (1) serving so simply multiply the ingredients by servings needed.
Steps
1
Beef preparation.
Ingredients
Beef Filet (approximately 4 oz. /person)
Cut filet(s) into one-inch pieces, Sauté until just seared, do not crowd pan, sauté in batches if necessary remove as the beef browns and place in a bowl.
2
Vegetable preparation
Ingredients
See method
Small button mushrooms or medium/large cut into quarters
Pearl onion (I used frozen par-cooked) 4 or 5/per person
Carrot (I used bagged baby carrots) 4 or 5/per person.
In the same pan sauté mushrooms, carrots and onions until caramelized (salt and pepper the vegetables to taste)
Remove and Set aside.
3
Deglaze sauté pan.
Ingredients
Red wine (I used a good Merlot instead of Burgundy) approximately 1/2 cup/person
Fresh Thyme
Deglaze sauté pan with the wine scraping brown bits (fond in culinary terms) on bottom of pan. Add one or two twigs of thyme, there is no need to strip the leaves, as it will be remove later. Continue to cook wine and thyme until wine is reduced by half, remove thyme set aside in bowl.
4
Prepare noodles.
Ingredients
Egg Noodles approximately 4 oz. /person
Prepare according to package instructions.
5
Combine beef and vegetables.
Ingredients
Beef broth (no salt) approximately 1/4 cup/person
Put wine reduction, beef broth and vegetables in a sauce pot bring to a rolling simmer (at this time you should prepare noodles according to package directions). Add beef filet cubes with any accumulated juices to sauce pot turn off heat (the beef will warm through with the residual heat in the pot, caution do not overcook beef).
6
To serve.
With a slotted spoon remove beef and vegetables for pot, keep warm, add unsalted butter to sauce to provide a glossy look and richer taste. NB: This step can be eliminated.
Place beef and vegetables over cooked noodles then ladle sauce over all and garnish with chopped parsley.
