Beef Bourguignon: A slow-cooked Burgundy meal

The French are known for their talent and skill in their culinary creations, but perhaps one of their most loved dishes is actually one of their most simple. Beef Bourguignon is a beef stew consisting of beef that has been braised in red wine, beef broth, and infused with flavors of garlic, onion, and herbs. It was actually a meal made and eaten by peasants in historical France, but now it’s become a “fancy” dish to enjoy by people around the world. While it’s name and appearance can look fancy, I’m here to tell you that it’s actually a really easy dish to create.
