Beef Bourguignon

Beef Bourguignon
Bonjour!

This classic French dish is perfect for a chilly night, but can be fancy enough for guests! Beef Bourguignon is one of my favorites, and up until I made it, I thought it was a very complicated dish.  It's flavors are so complex and rich, that I figured there was no way that I would have had all the things in my pantry that were necessary to make this dish taste as perfect as I've had in restaurants.  But not only is it surprisingly simple, its pretty inexpensive to make!

This recipe is a hybrid Julia Child/Ina Garten recipe.  It's Julia's recipe, but Ina's cooking method. 

Hope you enjoy!

Looks great. Lovely photos as well. I really thought you were going to win the One Pot Challenge until I read the note to "sautee your mushrooms in olive oil and butter"... I guess that would mean you need a second pot/pan.

Still a great recipe, that I will try soon. Thanks for sharing.

Could you do this in a slow cooker instead?
