How to Make: Beef Bourguignon (A trip to France)
You Ever did something and it just made you smile!!?? Well this was it for me today. This month we taking it to France! This Beautiful dish is known as Beef Bourguignon. This HARTY dish is a French beef stew braised in red wine, often red Burgundy, and beef stock, typically flavored with carrots, onions, garlic, and a bouquet garni, and garnished with pearl onions, mushrooms, and bacon. Now I used some Pinot Noir and definitely had some patience and three hours later it came out beautifully, now my only critique is that maybe I could've let it simmer a bit more so it could get thicker, but it was definitely amazing.This dish can be served over noodles or even standalone but I whipped up some smooth mashed potatoes and let me tell you 👨🏿🍳😚 (Chef Kiss). Shoutout to Julia Childs for the challange!
