With all due respect to Thomas Keller, Boeuf Bourguignon is originally peasant food. It's the old principle of taking a tough piece of meat and letting it cook low and slow until it becomes fork tender. It's not supposed to be all chi-chi. Of the 3, only Julia Child's recipe is a real Boeuf Bourguignon recipe, Anthony Bourdain is sort of a cheater recipe for those who don't have the time or the ingredients and Keller's recipe is so pretentious, it's just meant to get money out of his rich customers. And hurray for adding Bourdain to the roster! More please!

Yes, absolutely. I grew up in northern Wisconsin with Czech food, so almost every recipe seems foo-foo to me. A cheap cut of meat with vegetables that are available in a Wisconsin winter, slow cooked, IS what this is about. We don't have wine, pearl onions, or fresh parsley, but we have leeks, onions, carrots, potatoes, and rutabaga. Oil? Why? We have lots of butter and lard. I think Julia would approve. Anthony would say that it would be insane to try to buy expensive ingredients and work so hard for peasant food. I caught the water, not beef stock trick. That's from a guy who you find in an alley on break.

I loved Tony as an author I detested his cooking though. We went to his restaurant in Miami and New York and it was awful.

In his book, "Kitchen Confidential", Bourdain mentioned Juilia Child's Art of French Cooking. He said that whatever the current fashions may be, her recipes always work. Damn I love Beouf Bourguignon.

Hey man - first time viewer! I’ll start by saying I loved how transparent and honest you are during your process. That’s extremely helpful for home cooks. I cooked professionally for 11 years, and I had a few pieces of advice to offer from my chef days: -Julia’s recipe: your beef look a little stringy still - I would’ve considered letting that braise a bit more. If you find that you don’t want to reduce your whole recipe any further, you can separate it into its own smaller container with stock and wine to let it braise further. -meat cooking: use a more neutral oil with higher smoke point so you can truly brown your meat - part of that difficulty you were experiencing was trying to sear those tough pieces of meat in olive oil. Also, the splattering is a result of not drying your meat properly as well - let the meat sit out in the fridge overnight on a wire rack, uncovered. Makes a huge difference for crust and browning later. -Bourdain recipe: as a big fan of Tony as well, a couple things I noticed: 1. garlic presses are the enemy according to Tony - you figured out why later when you saw the pieces floating earlier. Don’t be afraid to divert from the recipe and add the garlic, rough chopped, at the vegetable stage with mushrooms or onions (after you’ve browned either one of those so you avoid burning the garlic) 2. Pedantic note here - adding flour to the onions with the fat creates a roux, so you’re effectively creating a veloute when you add the wine. Add your wine a bit at a time to make sure you avoid lumps and develop the roux appropriately. It’ll help make the thickening process work better down the line. 3. During the Demi glace addition, you were missing all of the solid chunk fat in the middle - that’s the good stuff! Don’t just get the thawed, thin liquid that you were spooning. Good Demi glacé should be almost gelatinous. - general note: mise en place! Get some deli cups of various sizes and cambro containers for veg prep and meat prep. Any restaurant supply store would have these in abundance and they are cheap! I hope these comments will be helpful for you and I look forward to what you continue to produce as you continue your culinary journey! DM me if you ever want to talk food or technique, I love to discuss and have learned a lot through years of cheffin it and making an incredible amount of mistakes.

I've made Julia's recipe a few times. After the first time tasting it I never thought about looking for another version. The first difference I noticed when watching this video was Julia added beef stock while Anthony and Thomas used water. That tells me hers will have a much deeper and full taste. I'm not a huge technique guy, when it comes to cooking, so Keller is one of those people that drives me insane.

@BadFluffy

Hers tastes like a stew. Not Bourguignon. You don't need beef stock when you have good meat. The meat will make its own stock. Add a good beef bone to the pot instead and you'll get the added gelatin for texture on top.

​@@BadFluffy gelatin doesn't come from the bones. It comes from the collagen in the connective tissue in the meat. And even though the beef will add its own flavor to the water, the flavor will never be as strong as the one where you add stock. This is why Bourdain uses a demi glace, to boost the flavor. Water is a flavorless solvent. Why not add flavor at every step?

@@BadFluffy Bourguignon is not a flavour it is a style of cooking from a province (Bourgogne). If you wish to make the authentic recipe then you use Burgundy wine and beef stock (if desired). On farms nothing was wasted so beef stock was readily available. Demi glace is great as it has a more concentrated flavour but takes longer to make than stock. It rectifies the loss of flavour which occurs when you the use water. Boeuf Bourguignon is nothing fancy to us, it is just a stew.

I’ve been enjoying your channel for about six months. For some of the earlier recipes, I yelled at the screen the way my husband yells at the quarterback. You have come such a long way.

She taught me that food could be art. You best episode ever was the watercress soup. (RIP Scott.) I laughed so hard my family thought I’d lost my mind.

Julia's was so good because of the fat that was left in. The other two looked watery and boring, not thick and rich, like Julia's. My mother used to make the most delicious chicken and noodles (not soup or stew; just a whole chicken and noodles) and the key was that she left all the fat in the broth and boiled the noodles in it. The chicken fat and noodle starch made a thick, rich, amazingly delicious dish❣️

I just read, I think an older version, of Julia’s BB that included marinating the meat in the red wine, for 12-24 hours prior to making the BB recipe. Have you done that? It almost seems like it might be overkill, or tenderize the meat so much it just completely falls apart at the end. Anyway, curios to know if you’ve tried making it with the marinated beef and if you have, was it worth it? Did it make a difference one way or the other?

While I'm sure Chef Keller's recipe is delicious, its very clear that its meant to be done when you have multiple people working on it at once (including a dishwasher. The amount of dishes it looks like you went through in that section made me wanna cry in sympathy). Bourdain's recipe seems to suit his attitude as well, it was a recipe more for the Everyman, a little quicker and simpler. And of course, Queen Julia takes the crown for her penultinate dish. I'd be shocked if she lost this one, tbh. Well done, Jamie!

"I won't be driving..." A classic, but I still love it!

Wearing sunglasses while browning the beef, is a very Bourdain thing to do. Love it!

The answer, of course, is that Julia Child was learning to cook and then developing and refining her own recipes long before the American establishment went insane over fat. Fat. Is. Flavor. Especially when preparing beef. Julia was able to focus 100% of her attention on TASTE, not hobbling herself with rules from orthorexia-by-proxy dieticians and do-as-I-say cardiologists. Should we be gorging every night on mounds of Beef Bourguignon? Of course not. Can we enjoy a rich, even fatty, bowl of beef several times per year? Of course.

My sincerest thanks for this reminder.

I can see how you are a fan for Bourdain’s writing because his voice is so distinctive, and I mean that literally and figuratively. When I have read anything by him, I can hear his voice in my head-as though I am listening to an audiobook. Great video!

I am absolutely no chef, but I felt Thomas Keller’s recipe took everything that makes a beef stew wonderful, and tossed it out at every step…along with most of the flavor. What makes a stew wonderful is the slow melding of flavors from cooking ingredients together slowly for a long period. By cooking everything separately (and tossing out the cooking liquid at every step), what he made was not a stew or bourguignon, but a hot meat salad with sauce. 🥴

Thomas Keller's recipes typically turn out to look beautiful, but every time I watch you do one, I always think that he has so many unnecessary steps and his recipes are incredibly wasteful. Cooking the vegetables separate from the beef just makes no sense to me. Their flavor should blend to help create the overall flavor profile of the dish. Instead, they are prepared as if they are side dishes. Assembled, it presents beautifully, but leaves me in the cold on flavor.

@CaliforniaCarpenter7 when you freeze them in your fridge yes, because it freezes slow. Commercial flash freezing happens too quickly for the ice crystals to form and destroy the cells of the food.

You are Super and part of my regular KZread watching. Please keep up with your great work. When you took a pause, I literally wandered around aimlessly

Really fantastic video, loved the laid back and honest presentation, 3 fantastic recipes from 3 food icons, i have cooked Julia's recipe before and i look forward to trying the other 2, brilliant video keep up the great work

I'm so glad that Julia's recipe won out over the other two. Boef Bourguignon is straight-up peasant food: literally, dump it all in a pot and cook it in the oven until it's done. It's not meant to have all the extra frills and steps that TK added. Its purpose is to feed a big group of people on the cheap, and the most important ingredients are love and time.

Isn't that cost too Anthony's recipe? It's the most labor saving,, which would have been much more desired by peasants

Sorry but bœuf bourguignon was never a peasant dish, but a recipe created in Paris in the late 19th century.

@shatteredteethofgod I don't recall ever glamorizing poverty in my comment. Not sure where you got that. I was only commenting on the beauty of the dish's simplicity in its original form. There's nothing wrong with adapting or transforming recipes from their original state, either. I can think of a number of wonderful, complex dishes today that are vastly different from their simple beginnings, and are - in my opinion - better for it. What I cannot abide is complexity for the sake of complexity. All TK's "adaptations" add are unecessary stress to the cook and more dishes to wash, just to inflate the dish's pricetag and to make it look prettier on the plate. That, to me, is not "adaptation". It's lunacy.

@shatteredteethofgod do you have evidence that it wasn't peasant food? Why would you argue something that is regularly supported, if you have no evidence for?

At the end of the day does it matter whether it was peasant food or not? Who gives a 💩as long as it tastes good! Some of the best food I’ve had was PEASANT. Simple homemade/grown. Pinch of this and a sprinkle of that with lots of love 🤷‍♀️

There's always some humor in your videos, but this one was particularly delightful. The peeling carrots bit was, of course, perfect, but the thing I most enjoy was the standing and staring as ominous music creeps in. This is how I feel when I cook, because I often start off very ambitious with a lot of energy, and a couple hours in I lose steam and also the will to continue. 10/10 for you, too.

I love how Thomas Keller's recipe is like "look, we do most of the cooking ahead of time, so when you're ready to serve it's only 2-3 hours of work and you're done!"

Hey! Just wanna say I love you videos! Keep up the amazing work you’re making!

WHEW that TK recipe was so fussy!! I can't believe you made it through; I would have chucked the book 😂

I made Julia’s Bourguignon for Christmas dinner one year and it was memorable! 😋

@@flarica64 What's up with sirens in NYC? I visited the city a few years ago and I was shocked by how frequent those are. I mean, I live in Madrid, Spain, which is not as big as NYC, but it's a big city nevertheless, and I can go weeks if not even more without hearing a siren. Maybe you have different regulations. Here, the use of sirens is highly regulated and they're suposed to be use in only some especific situations and it's even more restricted during the night.

It's amazing watching you grow and I've only been a subscriber for about a year but your progress always wows me ❤❤❤ good job and proud of ya man

You can get an oil spatter cover for your pans - sort of looks like a flat sieve with a handle. Helps not get your splashback all greasy too

If you are going to buy a splatter guard, buy a good one, the cheap ones tend to fall apart after a few uses and cleanings. I bought mine a few years ago, cost me $75, making it one of the most expensive gadgets in my kitchen. Also, even an expensive one is a bit fragile, so clean it carefully. I use steaming hot tap water thru my spray faucet and the soft side of a dual-purpose sponge for the mesh portion, being careful not to put any pressure on the mesh.

I have my grandmother’s, yes we have always washed it after every use, and it has been going strong since she bought it in the 1950’s.

I'm impressed how you catched the escaping mushroom at 10:00.

Love the beautiful French music sometimes it’s behind you! Julia’s is definitely my favorite!! I have no time for a Kellers method lol

You brought me to tears talking about Anthony Bourdain. So sad he is gone.

Anthony’s recipe has been our go-to for a few years. We use a bottom blade roast cut up, and we’ve always enjoyed the result. But your match here will mean Julia’s recipe will be next! 3 times as much wine! Looking forward to trying.

I really enjoyed this video! Thank you so much!

It’s been so fun to see both your cooking knowledge and your editing skills flourish! Editing to ensure the information and your sense of humor come through is a skill and I’m appreciating both as I watch!

Julia's recipe has the heart and soul of France, peasant France. Anthony's recipe shows France, but coming from big city France. Thomas avoids France altogether. Nobody is going to carry on that recipe through decades. Unless someone puts that recipe back together again. However I do like that he mentioned to start the recipe the day before. It does taste better the day after.

I'm not surprised by the result. Julia is the mother of Beef Bourginion. Her recipe is the origin for all the others. And I absolutely love the simplicity of it all. No waste, extremely efficient. And like you said, that moment of taking the cover off the Dutch Oven to reveal a perfect, completed dish is the cherry on top. I'll definitely be making her recipe for this dish in the future, using your video as an aide. Loved the whole presentation.

Excellent compilation. Subscribed!

You managed to make the excruciating nature of the Keller recipe a pleasure to watch. Thank you for cooking it so I don’t have to! New subscriber! 🍷

You could use a cockpot or instapot...so that you don't have to move a heavy dutch oven in and out of the stove. You have to time the vegetables differently. Reply if you want more details on that.

I’m a new follower and I just watched your first video and you have come a very long way. Your videos are so fun to watch 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Really enjoyed this presentation. You are fun to watch, although I had to pause frequently to cook dinner for my family, I kept coming back so I could get your scores. Lots of fun!

I've made Julia's Boeuf Bourguignon dozens of times over the past decade. It never fails to please. This video was top notch and I love watching you cook.

OMG, the work you put into the editing of each video for us in such a way that you titillate our tastebuds, makes us laugh and fall in love with you over and over again. Thank you.

Amazing video! What an introduction to the channel. Subscribed for sure!

Bourdain hated garlic crushers 🤣🤣🤣 I think now we know at least one of the reasons. Great video.

brilliant cage match, I'm so glad Julia won, you and her have something special together. xxx

A 49 min video is like a little treat at the end of my rainy day!

You seriously made it seem easier to make any of these dishes. Thank you

Excellent vidéo!👌🏼 I've lived and cooked here in 🇨🇵 La Belle France 🇨🇵 since 2004, (also had a casual family restaurant here,) and while watching you recreate TK's Boeuf Bourguignon, my eyes rolled so far back into my head I saw my lunch. I use Julia's recipe, as did my Mother, but now use a slow cooker on low overnight, witholding the flour. Then do the pearl/sauce onions (I use small shallots,) sautéed mushrooms, (in garlic and parsley butter,) and carrots the day I serve it. The cooked and covered meat can sit happily in the fridge for a couple of days. On the day, I strain the extra liquid, boil it down to thicken and maybe add some beurre manié (equal parts butter and flour mushed together,) if it seems it needs to be thicker. Then marry everything together in a Dutch oven on the stovetop. Exquisite. Tip to remove grease from a cold liquid: throw in an ice cube or two, roll them about and the excess fat will stick to it. Toss those instead of the precious broth. Bon appétit ! 💜

This kind of episode really shows how your instincts as a chef have developed. I'm a vegetarian but I couldn't help but think these looked amazing!

omg. The recipe that launched Julia's career!

LOVE your channel!!

You honestly can't go wrong with the classic, Julia-style one. You can make it fussier if you want, or keep it a rather rustic stew, and it's going to be wonderful.

You have definitely become a self-taught (tried and tested many times) chef, especially when you can make multiple recipes from different renowned chefs in one 50 minute video (give or take). 👏👏👏

Excellent episode! Would love to see more chef cook offs.

I loved your video! What perseverance with Thomas! 😅😅 Good job!

Enjoying all your hard work while I make beef stew using a flavour packet. Great effort.

Rip Bourdain!!! We have a huge painting of him in our living room. Truly a talented and greatly adored man.

Awesome!! Thank you!! This is the first video I have watched from you and it was awesome!!! I enjoyed everything you did in the vid and really appreciated it! I as well love all the chefs you had for today's recipe. I cook Julia's recipes regularly and Thomas's but will have to try Anthony's. Thank you and all the best! Great job! Super fun and engaging!! cheers!

Thank you always wondered about those three

Awesome episode. Thank you for making me feel less weird for using a tape measure in the kitchen too when baking or cooking calls for exact measurements. Also really happy that ceiling ghost is now giving you options.😂

I do love the Jamie meets Chef series, but I'm really missing the Cooking a Dish from... series. Education value in those is unmatched and it's way more interesting seeing dishes we don't stumble upon as compared to classics.

It’s been a while since this posted. Thanks so very much for the Julia Child rendition. I kinda want to make it for my 86 year old mom for Christmas ❤

Oh my gosh!! Thank you ☺️ for the Cage Match! You have me rolling with laughter 🤭. You’re so funny.. when you hit the wall with the last recipe I was right there with you.
