Boeuf bourguignon is a beautiful French traditional food, with a lot of flavor and tender meat after a long cooking time in red wine and kraft.
225 g bacon in strips or use small dishes bacon.
1.5 kg clean-cut loin (or pounded meat etc.) roughly diced
A little butter and oil for frying

3 carrots in even pieces
2 coarsely chopped onions
3 tbsp tomato puree
3 thyme twigs
2 bay leaves
3 tablespoons wheat flour
3 dl beef broth (possibly water and stock / broth)
1 bottle of fruity red wine
450 g delicacy onion
450 g sliced mushrooms (or small whole ones)
Salt and pepper
Brown cornstarch
Fresh parsley or thyme
Approach:
Crispy fry the bacon in a thick-bottomed pot with a little oil and add it to the side while you brown the meat in several batches in the same pot. Add a little salt and pepper (and more oil along the way if necessary).
Take all the meat out of the pot, add a little butter and chop the onion, 3 cloves of garlic and carrots into even pieces. Add tomato puree, thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Put the meat and bacon back in the pot, sprinkle over wheat flour, stir well and add the beef stock and red wine.

Fry the delicatessen onion and 450 g of mushroom until golden in a little butter in a frying pan, before adding it to the pot and letting everything continue to simmer until the onion is tender.
