1 pound beef shoulder, cut into 1/2 in cubes
1 small turnip, diced
1 red onion, diced
2 carrots, diced
3 stalks celery, diced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
salt pepper thyme sage marjoram
olive oil
red wine
brown beef in oil in a 3 qt stockpot
add vegetables and herbs and pepper, stir and cover.
cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally
add red wine to cover, reduce heat to a low simmer.
Cover and cook for a long time. A crockpot would be nice, but mine is 6 quarts and I didn't want to get it out for this. Maybe if I made a double batch.
salt to taste
It's really good, but not really beef bourguignon, that would require another couple pounds of beef, and burgundy wine.
