Serves 6

Preparation time: 30 min

Cooking time: 2 h 20

 

  • 1 kg beef chuck

Burgundy garnish

  • 2 slices bread, diced
  • 100 g smoked bacon, diced
  • ½ bunch chopped chives

Spinach pulp

  • 1 kg fresh spinach
  • 10 cl olive oil
  • 25 cl lemon juice

Turnip

  • 1 celeriac
  • 50 cl olive oil
  • 1 l white stock

Burgundy hop sauce

  • 100 g celeriac
  • 3 shallots
  • 3 button mushrooms
  • 25 cl red wine
  • 25 cl red port wine
  • 50 cl brown stock
  • 1 bouquet garni
  • 50 g dry hops
  • 5 drops Angostura
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper

 

1 - Prepare the chuck: brown the chuck on each side in olive oil in a casserole dish. Set aside.

2 - Brown the aromatic garnish of the sauce in the casserole. Deglaze with port, then reduce to dryness. Moisten with red wine and brown stock.

3 - Return the chuck to the casser ole and bring to a simmer. Preheat the oven to 180°C (gas mark 6), place the covered casserole in the oven and cook for 2 hours. Remove the chuck from the sauce.

4 - Make the spinach pulp: blanch the spinach in plenty of salted water. Immediately refresh, drain and blend with all the ingredients.

5 - Prepare the celeriac: cut the celery into 4 wedges and blanch in plenty of salted water. Pour the white stock and olive oil into a sauté pan, bring to a simmer, add the celery quarters and reduce to a glaze.

6 - For the Bourguignonne garnish: brown the bread and bacon separately in a frying pan.

7 - Finishing and garnishing: reduce the juices from the chuck to ice, infuse with hops for 1 min, then strain through a fine sieve. Slice the chuck and coat with the hop sauce. Place a quenelle of pulp and a turnip on each plate. Sprinkle the Burgundy garnish over the chuck.
