Boeuf Bourguignon is a great classic French dish known for its deep rich sauce. Beef is braised and stewed for 5 hours (or longer) in young, full-bodied, dry red wine and beef stock. It is generally flavoured with garlic, onions and herbs tied in a bouquet and seasoned well with salt and pepper. Carefully done and perfectly flavoured, for me, it is certainly one of the most delicious beef dishes created by man.
