I have been wanting to make Julia Child's version for a long time, but every time I read the recipe I change my mind. Found this wonderful recipe and had to try!! It is outstanding!!!! I fed 7 adults with this recipe and had enough leftovers for one more serving. My only alterations to this recipe was to add about a tablespoon of tomato paste and a cup of beef broth. To die for!! Now one of my favorites!!

This was a great recipe. I've made Julia Child's recipe and this rivals it, with less prep work. I overcoked it a bit but I just made sure there was enough sauce to help cover. Our company seemed to really enjoy t, as did my kids! The next day we ran out of wine to moisten and I secretly added a little diet soda. Shhh... It was absolutely fantastic! This is now my go-to recipe for Beouf Bourguinon!

My husband and I loved this. I just used cubed chuck roast and it was so tender, it melted in our mouths. Very good flavor . Will definitely make this for company .

This was very tasty. We added extra liquid, as suggested, but it wasn't enough. Next time we will add more (we are at a high elevation, so that may have something to do with it). The portions were not as big as others indicated, but we didn't serve it with anything else. It made about 4 servings. I swapped out shallots cut into a large dice for the pearl onions (I'm not a fan), and it was a fantastic addition.
