Classic Beef Bourguignon
Recipe by Chef Jean-Pierre
A hearty, slow‑cooked French classic made with beef chuck, bacon, carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, pearl onions and a rich red‑wine sauce. The recipe follows Chef Jean‑Pierre’s one‑pot method, using clarified butter for a high smoke point and a unique flour‑through‑a‑strainer technique for a silky thickened stew.
