Filet of Beef Bourguignon

This is Ina Garten (aka the Barefoot Contessa)’s recipe and it was absolutely delicious. A huge hit with the whole family.  My 3 year old was licking her plate.  Highly recommend.  Here is the recipe.  My only three adjustments were:
1) used a whole yellow onion vs. the pearl onions (seemed like too much work)
2) used a tbsp of our homemade ketchup vs. opening a new jar of tomato paste
3) added a whole bunch of kale at the same time I added the carrots and onions – this just brightened up the whole dish

I served with the wine I used for cooking for an added bonus!  I hope you try it sometime – your husband will thank you.

    Hi Ina,
    In the Filet of Beef Bourguignon recipe,
    when you said you used a whole yellow onion..
    did you cut the onion up? or just put it in whole?
    need to know, please…..making it Monday, Nov.17.
    Thank you.
