Lazy Boeuf Bourginon

Here is the Boeuf Bourginon recipe I tried tonight forgetting it takes 4 hours. Also, I did a two thirds recipe minus the carrot and minus the braised onions that only had to be cooked 3.5 hours. I also don't own a lid for the Dutch oven, so put in an extra cup of stock. It came out fine, a little bit on the True Grit side, gyddap. Also, I used Cupcake Petite Syrah and it has chocolate notes which makes the stew just a little too rich: I couldn't eat more than about ten bites. But whatever, it will be great with some old baguette tomorrow, and lots of butter.
