Recipe of the Month

Beef Bourgignon2Beef Bourgignon

Beef Bourgignon is so much more than just another beef stew. This classic French dish, made so popular by Ms. Julia Child, is the kind of stew that can earn you a chef’s reputation! The aroma alone — that deeply savory aroma of onions, slow-cooked beef, and red wine — is enough to keep you asking for seconds, or THIRDS?  Make Beef Bourgignon once, and you’ll wonder why anyone ever bothered making anything else. Serves 10

Ingredients:

  • 4 lbs. Boneless chuck roast

Salt & Pepper to taste

Oil as needed

  • 4 oz. Bacon
  • 8 oz. Mirepoix (onions, carrots, celery)

    • 6 oz. Olive oil
    • 2 oz. Lemon Juice
    • 3 Garlic Cloves Minced
    • 1 tsp. Salt
    • 1 tsp. Pepper
