Bring a touch of classic French dish comfort to your winter camping trip with this hearty Beef Bourguignon—also known as Boeuf Bourguignon—a classic stew that turns simple ingredients into something deeply rich and soul-warming. This version is tailored for the RJ Legend 1.9 quart Dutch oven and serves 3–4 people, making it perfect for small groups gathered around an RV fire pit or a cozy cabin kitchen. Slow-braised beef absorbs layers of red wine, herbs, mushrooms, and onions, while the Dutch oven’s cast iron ensures even heat distribution that creates tender, flavorful bites in every scoop.
How to Make Beef Bourguignon in a 2-Quart Dutch Oven
Begin by seasoning 2 pounds of beef chuck, cut into 1-inch cubes, with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in the Dutch oven over medium-high heat and brown the beef in batches to avoid overcrowding, then set aside. In the same pot, add 1 large chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic, cooking until fragrant. Stir in 1/2 pound of sliced mushrooms and sauté until browned.
Return the beef to the pot and pour in 1 cup of red wine and 2 cups of low-sodium beef broth, then mix in 1 tablespoon tomato paste, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, and 2 bay leaves. Sprinkle 1/4 cup almond flour over the surface to thicken the stew, then bring everything to a gentle simmer. Cover and place the RJ Legend Dutch oven in a preheated 300°F (150°C) oven for 2–3 hours, or until the beef is tender and infused with deep, savory flavor. Remove the bay leaves, adjust seasoning, and serve with warm bread for the perfect winter meal.
Serve & Enjoy on Winter Trips
Serve straight from the Dutch oven with warm bread, crusty rolls, or garlic toast to soak up the deep, red-wine sauce. This meal is perfect for chilly winter RV trips, glamping weekends, or cabin retreats, filling your space with comforting aroma and the satisfying sight of a hearty, home-cooked meal.
