Beef and Wild Mushrooms

This sophisticated beef and wild mushrooms dish is the epitome of slow-cooked comfort. By gently braising a lean cut of beef chuck in a rich red wine and herb-infused broth, the meat becomes exceptionally tender while developing a deep, savoury depth of flavour. The addition of earthy chanterelles and shiitake mushrooms provides a wonderful textural contrast, making this a refined choice for a weekend dinner that feels truly special.

As a diabetes-friendly main course, this recipe focuses on high-quality protein and fragrant aromatics rather than heavy starches or sugary sauces. Chilling the beef overnight is a clever professional technique that allows you to easily remove any saturated fat before serving, resulting in a lighter yet intensely glossy sauce. Serve it alongside steamed seasonal greens or roasted root vegetables for a balanced, wholesome meal.

How to make Beef and Wild Mushrooms

Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Season beef with kosher salt; cook, turning, until browned on all sides, about 15 minutes. Transfer beef to a plate.

Add remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil to pot. Add onions, garlic, thyme sprig, and bay leaf. Cook, stirring often, until onions are golden brown and soft, 10-15 minutes. Remove pot from heat and add wine. Return pot to heat, bring to a boil, and simmer until wine is reduced by half, about 3 minutes.

Return beef to pot; add broth. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover, and simmer gently until beef is fork-tender, 5-6 hours.

Let beef cool in cooking liquid, then transfer to a shallow baking dish. Strain braising liquid through a fine-mesh sieve over meat in dish. Cover and chill overnight. DO AHEAD: Beef can be made 3 days ahead. Keep chilled. Discard fat from surface of braising liquid before continuing.

Cut beef into 4 pieces; set aside. Transfer chilled braising liquid to a large skillet and bring to a boil; cook until thickened and reduced to 350ml , 25-30 minutes. Taste and season sauce with salt, if needed.

Add beef to skillet with sauce, cover, and cook over medium-low heat until beef is heated through, 8-10 minutes. Divide beef among plates. Spoon sauce over, top with mushrooms, and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
