Ingredients for Berghoff Ragout Ragout A La Berghof

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter
  • Round Steaks

  • Green Bell Peppers

  • Unbleached Flour
  • 4 cups beef broth

How to Make Berghoff Ragout Ragout A La Berghof

  1. Melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Add beef stew meat and brown on all sides. Remove browned meat and set aside.
  3. Add the remaining 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter to the pot. Sauté the chopped onion for 2 minutes until softened.
  4. Add the green bell pepper and sliced mushrooms. Cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup flour and 1/2 cup of the beef broth to create a smooth slurry.
  6. Pour the flour slurry into the pot with the vegetables. Gradually whisk in the remaining 3 1/2 cups of beef broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
  7. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Stir in the red wine, thyme, salt, pepper, and bay leaf.
  8. Return the browned beef to the pot. Cover and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the beef is very tender.
  9. Remove the bay leaf before serving. Serve the Berghoff Ragout hot over buttered egg noodles or dumplings.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
