Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 0.25 cup Red wine
- 0.5 cup Beef stock
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 ounces Brie cheese, sliced
- 1 whole Baguette, split lengthwise and cut into sandwich-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and fully cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease if needed.
Stir in the tomato paste, ensuring it coats the beef evenly, and cook for 2 minutes to develop flavor.
Deglaze the pan with red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
Add the beef stock, Dijon mustard, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and let simmer on low heat for 8-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the mixture to thicken slightly.
While the beef mixture simmers, spread butter on the cut sides of the baguette pieces.
Toast the buttered baguette pieces in a skillet or under a broiler until golden and crispy.
Once the beef mixture is ready, remove it from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
Spoon the beef mixture generously onto the toasted baguette pieces.
Top each sandwich with slices of brie cheese and let it melt slightly before serving. If desired, you can place the assembled sandwiches under a broiler for 1-2 minutes to melt the brie completely.
Serve warm and enjoy your Sloppy Jacques!
