Bullfighters Beef Stew


Rick's bullfighters beef stew is a hearty dish more likely to appeal to carnivores than veggie lovers.

This dish is a rich play on boeuf bourguignon, improving with age.

The recipe asks you to marinate the meat overnight and this is one of the few times I actually agree. Usually when you are cooking with strong flavours you can get away with a few hours of marinating or even not at all.

the best thing to remember about cooking, is that you don't have to follow recipes exactly, adding and subtracting is what makes the dish yours and not someone elses. for example, I'm not a fan of olives so I left them out of the recipe.

Tip: make your own bouqet garni out of fresh herbs, dried sachets from the spice section of the supermarket just doesn't impart the same flavours.
