Beef Bourguignon (Ultimate French Classic)
A richly flavored, slow‑braised French beef stew that uses three cuts of beef (short ribs, chuck, and shank) for depth, caramelized vegetables, reduced red wine, and a finishing garnish of mushrooms, bacon, and pearl onions. Served over a classic potato puree, this dish balances rustic comfort with restaurant‑level technique.
