Daube de boeuf bourguignonne is a classic French beef stew that is rich, flavorful, and perfect for a special occasion. Originating in the Burgundy region of France, this dish is made with beef that is braised in red wine, beef broth, and various vegetables. The beef is typically marinated in the red wine and herbs for several hours or overnight before being cooked, which helps to tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor. Vegetables such as carrots, onions, and mushrooms are often added to the stew, along with a bouquet garni of fresh herbs. Daube de boeuf bourguignonne is typically served over mashed potatoes or egg noodles, and is a hearty and satisfying meal that is sure to impress your guests.

Steps:
- Cut the meat into one-and-one-half-inch cubes.
- Place the meat in a deep bowl and add the carrots, onions, turnips, garlic, rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, parsley, nutmeg, wine, salt and pepper. Cover and let stand overnight in the refrigerator, stirring occasionally.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Drain the meat, vegetables and herbs, but reserve the marinating liquid. Separate the meat and vegetables. Tie the herbs in cheesecloth.
- Drop the salt pork slices into cold water and bring to a boil. Blanch for three minutes and drain.
- In a heavy, wide and deep casserole or Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil and add the meat, pork slices, onions and garlic. Stir and cook over high heat for about 15 minutes.
- Sprinkle the meat with flour and stir thoroughly so that the flour coats the meat and other ingredients. Add the marinating liquid and stir. Add the herbs in cheesecloth, then the carrots. Cover and bring to a boil on top of the stove. Place the casserole in the preheated oven.
- Heat the butter in a saucepan and add the sliced mushrooms. Cook until lightly browned. Add them to the stew. Cook about 45 minutes and add the turnips. Continue baking about one hour longer. The total baking time once the kettle is placed in the oven is two hours.
- Remove the casserole and uncover. Carefully spoon off and discard all the fat from the top of the stew. Serve hot with the potato puree (see recipe).

Tips:
- Choose high-quality beef for the best flavor. Look for chuck roast or brisket with good marbling.
- Brown the beef in batches to prevent overcrowding the pan and ensure even cooking.
- Use a heavy pot or Dutch oven to cook the daube de boeuf bourguignonne. This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent burning.

- Serve daube de boeuf bourguignonne with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice. You can also garnish it with fresh parsley or chives.
