Beef bourguignon, a hearty stew of fork-tender beef and vegetables in a rich red wine sauce, is one of the most acclaimed French recipes around the world. Rich, earthy, and indulgent, it’s simply everything you want in a bowl of winter comfort food.
As its name suggests, this beef stew originates from Burgundy, a region of France prized for producing exceptional cattle meat as well as red wine, the two star ingredients of this local dish. Famous chefs such as Auguste Escoffier, Julia Child, and Jacques Pépin were instrumental in helping it achieve culinary stardom across the Atlantic—a status well-deserved.
