Tender eye of round steaks, braised in a rich Burgundy wine sauce, become meltingly tender in this comforting, deeply flavorful dish. A surprisingly simple recipe, elevated by the quality of ingredients and slow, patient cooking.

Recipe View 0 mins Serve the braised steaks with the sauce spooned over them. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley.

For the best flavor, use a good quality Burgundy wine. A Pinot Noir would also work well.
Don't skip the browning step – it adds a lot of depth of flavor to the sauce.
If the sauce is too thin at the end of cooking, you can remove the steaks and simmer the sauce over medium heat until it thickens to your desired consistency.
This dish is excellent served with mashed potatoes, crusty bread, or rice to soak up the delicious sauce.
You can substitute beef broth for beef consommé, but consommé provides a richer, more concentrated flavor.

    The simmering time is key! Don't rush it. The longer it simmers, the more tender the meat becomes.

  • Garett Johns

    I was a little intimidated to make this, but it was actually quite easy. My family loved it!

  • Hugh Stehr

    This recipe is amazing! The steaks were so tender, and the sauce was incredible.

  • Trent Smith

    Definitely a new favorite. I added some mushrooms to the sauce for extra flavor.

  • Lulu Stehrflatley

    I used a Cabernet Sauvignon instead of Burgundy, and it still turned out great.
