The Boeuf Bourguignon is a stew favorite of my son. It is a dish that comes from the French region of Burgundy and it must be both the beef and wine. A kitchen to simmer with wine, vegetables and herbs make this a super strong dish.
The secret is browning the meat over very high heat initially so that the sauce gets darken, and then over low heat to a minimum to cook and tender the meat very slowly. Slow cooking over low heat that will make that veal to almost melt in your mouth. I like to cook it in the oven because it needs no special attention and I don't have to worry about it. The result is fantastic and the meat is simply delicious.
You can make it with a wide variety of vegetables, and mushrooms being now in season, would be a fantastic choice.
Many marine meat for hours before making the Boeuf Bourguignon so you get a more intense flavor. I don't do it because the result seems perfect as is, but you can try to marinate it in the wine with herbs
Like all dishes slow cooked,the difference is the time of cooking, but if you are in a hurry, you can use a pressure cooker. If you use premium quality ingredients it will also be very good, although obviously the flavor will not be the same. Lastly, for having a thick sauce it is important to add some flour to make the sauce dark and creamy.
Definitely a dish this Boeuf Bourguignon worthy of the best tables, why not also in Christmas. A good mashed potatoes served with our Boeuf Bourguignon will give us a first fantastic for Christmas day meal i the of the first day of the year, although at home every day are perfect for taking it. Bon appetit!
